I think your problem is caused by putting c: after the /p.  format of command is supposed to be:


shell=drive/pathname_of_command_processor drive/path_to_command_process
      /p/e:number_of_16_byte_paragraphs

      where:  10<paragraphs<63

Example: c: is location of drive containing DOS 3.1 and config.sys
         expanding environment to 30 paragraphs of 16 bytes each,
         or 480 bytes

shell=c:\command.com c:\/p/e:30
