Hi Folks!

I have a problem with the command line parameters/shell variables
of 4DOS. I'm trying to get 4DOS to pass my aliases and history from
the primary shell to deeper nested shells. In the manual it states
that this is done automatically. Seems to me like it is not....

Here's what I've got :

in my config.sys

->  shell=c:\system\4dos\4dos.com @c:\system\4dos\4dos.opt

in c:\system\4dos\4dos.opt :

->  /l:c:\system\4dos /e:1024 /a:2048 /s:n /p

in my environment

->  set 4dshell=/l:c:\system\4dos /a:2048 /e+128 /s:n

I test this stuff by executing the norton editor and
shelling out to dos. After that I use the alias and history
commands to check, but I don't see any aliases or history...
Anyone have a clue why aliases/history is not passed ?
(don't say the norton editor causes it, because it doesn't....)

		Thanks in advance,
