Swap Files in MS-DOS/DOSSHELL: How to configure? (Users)

Hi again, Arjay!

I just recalled as I was heading for bed that I had saved some lines from my MS-DOS AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files to a text file, because I wanted to ask you about the potential for conflict:

I've replace the temp lines in my autoexec.bat file with the
lines you provided me:

if NOT exist e:\temp\NUL md e:\temp
SET TEMP=E:\temp
set tmp=%temp&


But I noticed that I also have his line in my CONFIG.SYS file:

shell=c:\command.com /e:1024 /p


Could that line conflict with the AUTOEXEC.BAT lines you gave me?

COPY /B COMMAND.COM E:\
SET COMPSPEC=E:\COMMAND.COM


I thought I'd better check, before I reboot.

Now, it's Bedtime for Bonzo,
