I have tried to get the recently posted bourne like shell for MS-DOS
to work but it refuses to execute "dir" ...

AHA!, I've just seen the light.  Of course the shell has no knowledge of
command.com internal command names.  

Ok, what can I do about it?  Should I write a shell script for each of
the MS-DOS internal commands I want to keep and invoke a fresh
command.com for every invokation?

Did I misunderstand the intended function of this shell?
