No, 4DOS isn't the problem either. I tried the above earlier tonight
with no change. SET shows a COMSPEC= and I also added the SHELL= in
autoexec.bat for good measure.
So no connects with command.com or 4DOS.

Boot.sys is one of the better multi-configuration programs out there.
Doesn't require copying and renaming of autoexec/config files.
Technically, it's like a big fancy batch file.
It handles my different bootup options (standard, DESQview, games,
clean, etc.).
In case the DV entry has you wondering, no I'm not running QEMM
except for that bootup. Some programs have problems with QEMM plus
it's a rather old version.
