  Just boot to 5. Command prompt only (when booting, hold F8 down to
get the selection list). It works just like the old DOS's did.

  Below is the part of my Win98 boot that applies to your request.

CONFIG.SYS
fcbs=8
shell=c:\command.com c:\ /e:512 /p
device=c:\windows\himem.sys /hmamin=63 /testmem:off
device=c:\windows\emm386.exe noems i=b000-b7ff x=c000-c7ff
dos=high,umb
switches=/f
lastdrivehigh=m
buffershigh=13,0
fileshigh=40

AUTOEXEC.BAT
@echo off
prompt $p $g
set temp=c:\temp
path c:\windows\command;e:\dos;c:\windows
lh c:\windows\smartdrv.exe A- C D  /e:8192 /b:32000 2000 2000
lh c:\windows\command\doskey /bufsize=1024
lh c:\mouse\mouse
set blaster=a220 i5 d1 h7 p330 t6
set sound=e:\sb16

  Maybe that will help some.
