You are using DOS+Windows 95.  
Look at the 4DOS on-line help for starting 4DOS, and note the circumstances 
it describes in which the /D switch is passed to 4DOS by DOS+Windows 95.  If 
you set Debug=1 in your 4DOS.INI you will notice that DOS+Windows 95 often 
uses a command tail of "C:\4DOS /D /K AUTOEXEC" to start the command 
processor in such situations.
