The only benefit from the renaming is if you utilizae programs not conforming
to MS' rules which reference COMMAND.COM explicitly instead of using the value
of the environment variable COMSPEC. Note that COMSPEC is set by both MS'
COMMAND.COM and by 4DOS.COM if CONFIG.SYS includes a shell= directive;
otherwise you must set it explicitly (e.g., in 4START.BTM).
