I'm not sure about this one, but usually DR-DOS COMMAND.COM should provide the same functionality regarding long filenames as MS-DOS 7+ COMMAND.COM does (except for the LFNFOR command).

As far as I know, it already does, if the driver has been loaded before the shell - at least with 4DOS 6.00+ (to my knowledge the current issue is 6.01a).
