I'm really getting confused here. If command.com never sees the cd
command,
in v3.77, what breaks when bash isn't present? Is is just because
Make[2]
can't be created under command.com? Why so? I've found, more or less
inadvertantly,
that I can run command.com from MC, create another MC, and another
command.com, and
back out of them one by one. I'm sure things like environment variable
would be a
royal mess, but the possibility seems to be there.
