SHELL=
or
AUTOEXEC.BAT line to execute the program
or
REXX script
or
A program which bootstraps the other program.
The latter is possible in Dos/CPM/etc as there are compilers for that,
but no real compiler yet for Elks, nor a bulletproff shell, though it's
close.

You can already do this using SHELL= in CONFIG.SYS. I did this many
years ago (more than 10, OK? (Have I really been puting up with MS-DOS that
long?)) to make a diskette that booted directly into WordStar.
