Duh! Didn't know that FreeBASIC would have a DOS IDE, even less
one defaulting to "lang QB".

BTW, FreeBASIC 1.01.0 is out, it still mostly works, and supports DOS.

Note that you can't replace FreeCOM by your 'simple shell'
compiled using FBC for the simple reason that FBC doesn't support
16-bit 8086 target. Hacking on "-gen GCC" and subsequently
compiling with WATCOM might be theoretically possible
but is not something that would work out of the box.
