When typing commands in a top-level COMMAND.COM shell session, then the Shift key is often ignored, resulting in corrupt commands. This happens in VirtualBox, for example.

Update: Looks like this only happens with rmenu, not top-level COMMAND.COM sessions.
can you give a link to rmenu? I'm not familiar with that one.
Andrew is talking about https://www.bttr-software.de/products/jhoffmann/#rmenu
In August I got two mails from him in private, but I was unable to help.
And I lost contact to Jürgen Hoffmann. :-(
Since the bug only happens with RMENU (package not installed with FreeDOS) not COMMAND.COM, this isn't something we can track here.
For now, I've changed the bug to 'wont-fix' because the issue is in an outside program and Robert said he has lost contact with the bug reporter.
I lost contact to the author of RMENU Jürgen Hoffmann, not the bug reporter Andrew Pennebaker.
Should the bug be re-opened? It seemed to be a bug in RMENU, not FreeDOS. Or do we think it's a kernel issue?
No need to re-open, as Andrew didn't reply for more than a year.
I think, the bug is either in RMENU or VirtualBox.
Yeah, understood. My interest in rmenu was as a telnet setup. But
unfortunately, DOS predates multitasking so I am unable to execute remote
commands.

Not a bad idea. In my case, a VNC-like setup may be the only workable
solution. Ha, I already do nested VM's when setting up some other Vagrant
boxes.
