MS DOS programs are limited to 127 bytes by the available length in
the Program Segment Prefix area; the max supported by the various MS
shell versions are:
MS DOS command.com 127
Windows NT cmd.exe 256
Windows 2K cmd.exe 2046
Windows XP cmd.exe 8190
Some Unix shells keep the last command name or line in env var $_: do
any of the Windows shells do anything similar?
