Shell
Purpose:
Begins execution of the shell (top-level command processor) from
a file defined by the specified pathname.
Syntax:
shell = [drive: Jpathname
Comments:
The pathname option specifies the program that MS· DOS uses
as a
command processor. Instead of reading the standard
commandcom, MS·DOS starts the processor specified in pathname.
System programmers who write their own command processors
(instead
of using the MS· DOS file, command com) should also use
shell.
Example:
The following
command uses the file \ bin \ newshell as the com-
mand processor:
shell=\bin\newshell
