Long story short: I don't think FreeDOS not having a DOSshell clone is
a significant omission. Nobody will write the "program switcher" code
(too complex), and we already have file managers. So I don't see what
else it would offer. Feel free to prove me wrong, but there's just too
much inertia and not enough time or experience to do such heavy tasks
like that. FreeDOS is already good enough as it is.

May I point out that if the goal is MS-DOS 6.2x, there's no need anyway; they don't come with DOSSHELL. You had to send away for the supplemental disk to get that.
