The problem with this is, that if you don't give /p, you actually can 
EXIT COMMAND.COM, and the underlaying IBMBIO.COM will then ask for a 
new path to the command processor (currently, there are some design 
flaws, but it works).  So, you must not automatically add /p, 
since else you would disable this feature...
