I'm working on an article about the environment, and found something which was new to me, namely that DOS (at least MS-DOS and FreeDOS, haven't checked with DR-DOS yet) actually doesn't give the primary shell an environment of 0000h when CONFIG.SYS uses a MENU. This mini environment is used to pass the menu selections to the primary shell.

Without testing it, (E)DR-DOS should give it 0h as environment segment, see

A quick search revealed no means of passing a menu selection.

Greetings, Bernd
