I have 4dos setup as primary shell in my config.sys file...
shell=c:\4dos\4dos.com c:\4dos /P
In win95 I have a shortcut desktop icon setup to run 4dos, because for some
reason even though it's the primary shell it doesn't automatically run when
I open a dos prompt.
Doing it this way I'm also able to open a normal MSdos box from win95 using
the normal dos prompt menu option. But the only problem I had with this was
MSDOS didn't like my 4dos prompt too much. In the prog properties for the dos
prompt where the command line etc is specified there's a section to setup a
batch file which is automatically run. I thought I'd use this to change the
prompt to something command.com can handle. Problem is that whenever I
specify anything here 4dos always starts instead of command.com, no matter
what!
It doesn't matter that command.com is specified as the program command line,
as soon as I specify a batch file/command to be run 4dos starts instead of
command.com! The only way I've found to get around this is to use the /K
switch after the command line. Is this a win95 problem or something wrong
with how I've setup 4dos?
