In AUTOEXEC.BAT set %TEMP% variable to your RAM drive.
Otherwise, DOSSHELL will write the temporary files
into the directory where DOSSHELL.EXE is located.
I also used to run DOSSHELL from RAM drive, so I set
the location of DOSSHELL.INI into %DOSSHELL%.

I found this reading AUTOEXEC.BAT from a very old
diskette I made in 1989. Maybe this will help.
