The CONFIG.SYS file is processed before a command processor is selected.  This

particular CONFIG.SYS does not put any unique restrictions on file content.  To

select MiniCMD as the command shell, you must either place a SHELL

statement in the CONFIG.SYS file or supply a COMMAND.COM on drive D that

is actually a renamed copy of MiniCMD.
Unlike COMMAND.COM, MiniCMD ignores any command line parameters that

might be supplied via the SHELL statement.  Moreover, when you use MiniCMD

as the command shell, AUTOEXEC.BAT is not processed.  Instead, MiniCMD

looks for and executes a file named ROMINIT.BAT.  (Restrictions on the contents

of  ROMINIT.BAT are discussed later.)

MiniCMD supports only a very small subset of the internal commands that

COMMAND.COM supports. The following commands are available:

"

@command

The  @  command prefix prevents a single line from being echoed as it is

executed.

"

:label

The  :  command prefix defines labels within ROMINIT.BAT for use with

the GOTO command.  Since labels are never displayed or executed, they

can be used in place of the REM statement.  To enhance clarity, however,

you can use :REM" to prefix all such remark statements.

"

SET variable=value

Note that SET with no command parameters does not display the current

environment.

"

ECHO

When executed without any command line parameters, ECHO displays a

message indicating whether or not ECHO is on.

"

ECHO ON

Same syntax as COMMAND.COM.

"

ECHO OFF

Same syntax as COMMAND.COM.  Note that when ECHO is off, no

command prompt is displayed at the command line.

"

ECHO,

(Note the comma.)  This special echo command echoes a blank line.  The

comma must appear immediately after the o" in echo," with no separating

space.

"

ECHO message

Same syntax as COMMAND.COM.

"

IF [NOT] EXIST . . .

Same syntax as COMMAND.COM.

"

IF [NOT] ERRORLEVEL . . .

Same syntax as COMMAND.COM.

"

GOTO label

Same syntax as COMMAND.COM, except that you may not use the colon

with the label name.
