The question was "Does anyone have a fix for MS-DOS not being able to
find files with a "-" in them such as PC-TALK, etc. if you set SWITCHAR = -
in your CONFIG.SYS file.

The answer:  Don't set SWITCHAR = -.  You can set switchar to be anything you
want.  I set mine to "\".  If what you really want is to make MS-DOS look
like UNIX, good luck... Among other things, you'll have to hack the command
line parser.  Using debug, that would *not* be fun.  It'd be easier to write
your own COMMAND.COM.
