That is not needed. You can switch off a FreeDOS PC at any time
without causing problems. Of course you should wait until your
app has finished and you are back at the C:> prompt ;-).

About the VER command, well, that is confusing many MS DOS
users... There is VER and VER /R and they show the versions
of the kernel and the FreeCOM command.com instead of showing
the version of the distro. Basically the distro is whatever
you want it to do, and can use any kernel and shell version.

> And please strip trailing blanks from FDCONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT

This is probably caused by things like

echo device=something > fdconfig.sys

where the space between something and > is echoed as well.
It only causes problems in SET lines because "set LANG=DE "
(note the trailing space) sets LANG to "DE " and there are
no translations of htmlhelp and apps for "DE ", only for DE.

Please check if the issues are already mentioned here:
