No, DESQview can also run a program without help from COMMAND.COM, but you have
to set up the .DVP correctly: a) the "program" field must include the .COM or
.EXE extension, and b) "close on exit" must be set to Y.

"How to Prove It" by Dana Angluin
17. proof by mutual reference:
    In reference A, Theorem 5 is said to follow from Theorem 3 in reference B,
    which is shown to follow from Corollary 6.2 in reference C, which is an
    easy consequence of Theorem 5 in reference A.
