At first blush it looks like COMMAND.COM is hard coded to looking for any
of this list of programs to start on a first found basis:

VPDCALL.EXE
CMDLLF.COM (This is the one they use for the Maintenance Diskette)
UUIDCALL.EXE
ADMIN.EXE
ECAINF.EXE
AUDCALL.EXE
KEYB.COM
LD850.COM

and if none is found then it executes userint.exe to stop. So it may be as
simple as renaming our own startup program to a name in that list.
