modify kernel.sys by using
sys
Thanks! It looks like the shell directive does exactly what I want. It
defines what the kernel loads as the command processor. I'm in a funny
situation where I only have just over 6 months total experience with DOS,
and yet I'm writing DOS software for machinery which is 200 miles away...
Not ideal

Have you tried to declare your program in CONFIG.SYS using the SHELL=
directive
Currently the program uses a separate DPMI host. But I believe I can prepend
my program with a DPMI host so that it starts directly in real mode?
Would renaming this executable to command.com enable the kernel to load it
directly?
