A   recent   article  complained  that  COMMAND.COM  wouldn't  read  the
AUTOEXEC.BAT file after being patched. This may be too easy, but did you
change the CONFIG.SYS file around that time? and put  in  a  SHELL  line
without  a /P?  Lack of /P will cause the AUTOEXEC.BAT step to be missed
out during initialisation.....
