7/9/98 ROM-DOS 6.22 Command Descriptions 3-105
S H E L L
CONFIG.SYS
Purpose
Specifies a different boot program other than the default
COMMAND.COM. ROM-DOS boots this new program, with arguments,
instead of the one specified internally.
Syntax
SHELL = boot_ program arguments
Remarks
SHELL is most often used to start the initial copy of COMMAND with
special parameters. One parameter is used for providing a larger
environment than the default 128 bytes.
The boot_program can be any executable program. The full path,
including drive letter, should be specified if the program is not in the
root directory of the default drive.
Arguments are optional and program specific. They vary depending on
the boot_program being executed by the SHELL command.
Examples
SHELL=c:\COMMAND.COM /E:512 /P
Boots the standard Command Processor but sets the environment
space to 512 bytes (up from the default 128). The /P parameter tells
COMMAND that it is permanent (cannot terminate).
SHELL = c:\TEMP\MYPROG.EXE
Boots a program called MYPROG.EXE, located in the directory TEMP,
instead of the standard Command Processor.
