Then you mean the /P switch is a directive
to the shell going to be installed, not to
the currently running command interpreter.
I did not know it was so. I thought the
current interpreter would load the new
shell as its own parent.
I am drifting off-topic - perhaps
I shall open a new thread if this
conversation extends.
