You state that the second c:\ tells MS-DOS where to find command.com when reloading
is necessary.  I have a system that contains the following in the config.sys:

	SHELL=C:\dos\command.com /E:1024 /P

And the following in the \autoexec.bat:

	SET COMSPEC=C:\dos\command.com


Is using the line you describe equivalent (and easier) than the setup I have???
