One trick with MS-DOS's COMMAND.COM is to take a hex editor to it and make one
or more letters in the command name in the command table lowercase -- since
COMMAND.COM uppercases what you type before matching internal commands this
effectively disables it.  Not sure if this would work with DR-DOS's
COMMAND.COM (I suppose it would) or if it's a good idea.
