Jack suggested the following, please try and consider "which is the
best" to help you to save conventional memory. Recently I try to help
someone but causing some "problem" here.
----
shellhigh=c:\command.com /e:512 /p=c:\fdauto.bat
device=c:\qhmboot.sys
dos=high,umb
device=c:\qdboot.sys ;Optional, loads QDMA high with UMBPCI.
device=c:\umbpci.sys ;For packet DMA, may need EMM386!
devicehigh=c:\qhimem.sys /n32 ;Can be /n16 if XMS usage is low.
devicehigh=c:\qdma.sys /o /d /f /l ;Optional, for use with overlays.
.

fileshigh=12 ;Optional, can be adjusted.
buffers=8,0 ;Optional, can be adjusted.
stackshigh=9,256 ;DO NOT omit! RISKY if so!
lastdrivehigh=c ;If only diskette, use "a".

I don't know if the "Trick" updated or not, please try.
"BUFFERS=-1" will use less buffer.

The traditional design of "command.com" was prepared to continue
running programs when your application quit (unlike Apple][), so I
have no idea how to kick it away.
Maybe you need a custom built "command.com".
