SUMMARY
=======
Unlike previous versions of Microsoft MS-DOS, when you install MS-DOS 6.x
Upgrade, the Shell command in the CONFIG.SYS file is not updated if you are not
using COMMAND.COM.
MORE INFORMATION
================
If you are using a third-party shell with MS-DOS 6.0 or 6.2, you may have
problems with multiple-configuration menus, MemMaker, and the startup function
keys (F5 and F8).
To correct these problems, either use COMMAND.COM or contact your third-party
shell manufacturer for an updated version.
The default Shell command for MS-DOS 6 Upgrade or MS-DOS 6.2 is as follows:
shell=c:\dos\command.com c:\dos /p
If the current Shell is COMMAND.COM, Setup updates the path, keeps the /E
parameter (if there is one), and adds the /P parameter if it does not already
exist.
