I don't understand the question. DOS always runs in real mode. All
DJGPP programs switch the CPU to protected mode in the startup code,
and switch it back to real mode when a DOS function is called.

These commands are not built into Bash. You need to install the port
of Fileutils (v2gnu/fil316b.zip) which has both `ls' and `dir'.

No, of course not. Bash is a separate shell, it only calls
command.com if you need to run a batch file.
