The /P switch in FreeCOM says that COMMAND.COM is a permanent shell,
so it never exits (the EXIT command does nothing). That /P
("permanent") feature probably doesn't exist on other applications,
because they don't need it.
In my example, I used the theoretical example of running a different
application (FreeDOS EDIT) as the shell. You can actually run any
program as the shell, but whether or not that is a good idea is up to
you. For example, if you needed to launch other programs *before* the
dedicated app, then running the program as your shell is not a good
idea.
