I have noticed that 4dos screws up with the use of slashes in pathnames.
Supposedly it has the ability to use '/' or '\' interchangeably in a path
specification when the usage is unambiguous.  So, it seems to me that
the following should work:

cd /foo/bar

Since cd does not take any qualifiers.  Either that or 4dos should complain.
What it does is change your directory to the /foo.  Not exactly intuitive.

I am registering it anyway, despite its quirks.  I think 4dos is a vast
improvement over COMMAND.COM
