To make COMMAND.COM read the AUTOEXEC.BAT file, you must include the /P
(Permanent copy) switch.

To get the number of paragraphs, I do something like:

ORG 0
$BEGIN=$
 .
 .
 .
[after last byte of wanted code]
SIZE=$-$BEGIN
[arithmetic to round SIZE to next 16 byte boundary]

 .
 .
MOV DX,(OFFSET SIZE SHR 4)   ; is this the right register? no manual here...
 .
That should do it.
