Hmm, compatibly with MS DOS 7?  ;-))

So, what's the community's opinion, shall:

/P/C cmd
/P=another.BAT /C cmd
/P/K cmd
/P=another.BAT /K cmd

behave all the same by: 1) execute "cmd" and, finally, 2) enter prompt;
without to execute "AUTOEXEC.BAT" or "another.BAT" respectively?

What's about "/D", is it to disable /C and /K, too, or should it effect
/P's execution of AUTOEXEC.BAT only?
