DOS 2.x had an undocumented config.sys command called "switchar" that could
be used for this, but this was removed in DOS 3.x!  Someone may have a patch
of some sort, but I would suggest being cautious, because the command
interpreter and other DOS programs commonly interpret a '/' as a switch
character.  This often yields messages such as "Invalid parameter".
