9) SWITCHES

    SWITCHES=/W

        Enables you to have your WINA20 file anywhere on your boot
        drive.  Without this you have to have it in the root directory.

         You should also mention that this one should not be used with
         Windows 3.1. I've noticed a lot of people who do, and it wastes
         around 120K of UMBs.

         This is documented in DOS 6.0

    SWITCHES=/F

        Do you know that there is a rarely known switch called /F?
        If you put this line:

              SWITCHES=/F

        as the first line in your CONFIG.SYS, MS-DOS would not delay 2
        seconds, but immediately start processing your CONFIG.SYS. This
        trick has no other effects (AFAIK), but those who DO know better,
        correct me if I'm wrong!

        But where would you put the switch, it's not like you load a device
        driver that early in boot up do you?

           RF? Beats me. I think it goes in the SHELL= statement. Just don't
           RF? remember what character you use. I saw it mentioned in the
           RF? Tech conference /K maybe?

        No, it's SWITCHES=/F, right?

                              Paul Senechko 

        Actually, its both:

            /W allows you to move the WINA20.386 file
            /K makes your AT Keyboard act like a XT
            /F Disables the wait
            /N Disables F5/F8 exiting

        and to use any just put the command SWITCHES= and the parameters
        on the first line of your config.sys (Can go on other lines, but for
        the /F and /N you need it at the first line....), also the Switches
        command IS compatible w/ DOS 5, but only using the /W & /K options

10) FOR IN DO

          for %%z in (test1 test2 test3) do goto %%z
          goto end
          :test1
          echo test1
          :test2
          echo test2
          :test3
          echo test3
          :end

     When I posted this explaining the traps and pitfalls
     of FOR IN DO, something got lost. GOTO commands in FOR IN DO
     statements do not work correctly / as expected. This fragment
     will work in 4DOS, but not with COMMAND.COM. You've seen
     what happens when running under COMMAND.COM already. 4DOS
     will display test1 test2 test3.

     So, that's what I was trying to explain: that GOTO's don't work
     right, and that IF's will break FOR IN DO's.
