I hope I can clarify some of the confusion on this:

For DOS 3.1 and before, you need to say:

	shell=command.com /e:#### /p

where #### is the number of 16-byte paragraphs you want to reserve.

For DOS 3.2 and later, you need to say:

	shell=command.com /e:#### /p

where #### is the number of BYTES you want.  In both cases, the /p tells
DOS to go ahead and execute AUTOEXEC.BAT after this command.  You probably
want this.  You may also, of course, optionally specify a drive and directory
path for command.com.

Don't you just LOVE IBM?!?!?!? ;)-|-<
