COMMAND.COM has problems when loaded from CONFIG.SYS

When switching to a drive with no disk in it, it doesn't notice, and
you get garbage.

Command-Line editing is really slow because it redraws each time.

COMMAND.COM (specifically the set command, but maybe others) wastes
memory by not freeing back what it doesn't use.

The exec function that was being used by version 0.73 and earlier
does not copy the envirnment to the child process.  In 0.74 this was
changed to use spawnl, but the exec function should probably be fixed
instead.

o  the "/?" help option does not work
o  if you type <tab> and multiple names exist it goes beep. If you
   type tab again it beeps but does not show all the possibilities
   like bash does.

From: Steffan
o  let set work with or without the '=' sign.  People like it that way.

From: Yury Semenov
o  command.com ignores control-c and control-break, which makes it difficult
   to quit typing a long file, among other things

"alias v = dir" doesn't work because of the spaces.


From: John P. Price (linux-guru@gcfl.net)
 Environment variable references do not get expanded on the command
 line.  For example:

 set path=%path%;c:\tc\bin

 sets path to "%path%;c:\tc\bin" instead of adding to the current
 path.
