	I didn't see the base note for this, but:

	Have you tried a SET COMSPEC=c:\[path] command? Or does your path
command have an 'A:\' somewhere in it? The ComSpec environment variable tells
DOS where to look for the Command Interpreter (COMMAND.COM) whenever it needs
it; so set it to C: and it won't try reading drive A:... If your path statement
has a A:\ parameter, DOS might be trying to access A: for that reason.

	What would Turbo's dynamic memory allocation have to do with DOS
needing COMMAND.COM????
