I think your problem is caused by putting c: after the /p. format of command is supposed to be:
shell=drive/pathname_of_command_processor drive/path_to_command_process
/p/e:number_of_16_byte_paragraphs
where: 10<paragraphs<63
Example: c: is location of drive containing DOS 3.1 and config.sys
expanding environment to 30 paragraphs of 16 bytes each,
or 480 bytes
shell=c:\command.com c:\/p/e:30
