Jusr for grins, rename 4DOS.COM to COMMAND.COM, making sure you
remove all command.com's from your system.  There MAY be something
in Windows that patches command.com in memory and would cause 4DOS
to hang, but it's unlikely.  Give it a try.

The other thing you can do is make sure comspec is still 4DOS.COM.
