Better question, would it be possible to write a command processor loader
which would handle these matters then load the command processor as an
overlay?  Might have to sacrifice 16 bytes of memory to the procedure, or
have the procedure call the overlay while operating within what will
become the command processor's original environment ensuring that no
memory gets locked up.  I know that you can (at anytime) call command.com
with a /p and get completely ugly about not being able to exit back into
that editor with an unsaved document you've just spent hours working on.

(been there, done that:(
