Question:  Can I have my command.com reloaded from RAMDRIVE?
   In other words, will
SHELL=c:\dos\command.com g:\bin\command.com /e:3072 /p

   do what I want?  Assuming G: is my ramdrive and my autoexec.bat
copies command.com to G:\bin, of course.

   I already copy the most often used commands to the ramdrive, which
is first in my path, and it gives a noticeable improvement to things
like ls and xcopy.  (DIR ? who uses DIR?)
