I have Win'95 on my system right now.  I decided to attempt to install
OpenDOS 7.02B2.  I did this.  The boot loader installed.  I had my
previous autoexec and config files that I copied to dconfig.sys and
autodos7.bat. and then added /p:autodos7.bat to the shell line in
dconfig.sys.  I thought this would be fine.  I rebooted and chose OpenDOS
from the boot menu.  My computer began to beep incessantly.  I did a
step-by-step of the OpenDOS boot and the beeping begins when I say yes to
process the autodos7.bat file.  This is it:

@ECHO Off

Anybody have any ideas?  I tried placing Pause statements after each line
but it didn't work.  apparently it's not even processing the first line
of the file.  Also here is the contents of the dconfig.sys file:
