I have installed FreeDOS 1.1 9 or 10 months ago. I have played with it some days and not used it again until yesterday. I have certainly not recompiled any components of the distribution. I have also not installed any other program that should change the "switch char". No other programs have been installed except those installed by the distribution proper. All this means that I am not aware of having deliberately changed the "switch char". May be it is worth to inspect the FreeCom sources to check what "switch char" has been selected and what does change it if at all. Regards, Juan M.
