Since this happens on every PC (7 total) that is unlikely; and this does
not happen with the regular DOSes.
I am now using a menu (PowerMenu by Brown Bag Software) with the
%WPSHELL%/C command and our current FreeCOM which is working well.

I have a MENU selection in FDCONFIG.SYS pointing to an IF "%config%" option
in AUTOEXEC.BAT which loads my PowerMenu which takes over from there, this
is the "cleanest" way of resolving the issue that I have found.

Yeah, we need to prioritize that for 2.0.
