>>I believe you are in a DOS environment when you shutdown and
restart in MS DOS mode. There is some Win95/98 hangover as when
you type EXIT when in MS DOS mode the system will reboot to
WIN95/98. This is probably some type of TSR (Terminate and Stay
Resident) application.

Partly right. To boot, Win95/98 first boots DOS (just like the
old days of 3.0/3.1/3.11) and DOS runs Win95 on exit. If
you reboot to the dos prompt, you just get a dos command prompt
because the booting DOS executes COMMAND.COM on the way.
When you exit from COMMAND.COM (that's what EXIT does),
You continue the boot you interrupted.

Autoexec.dos and config.dos are for booting the previous version,
not the Win 95/98 version. If you choose boot previous version
of ms dos from the 95/98 startup menu (F8), Win 95 replaces
autoexec.bat and config.sys with autoexec.dos and config.dos,
the boots the previous dos.

When you next boot 95/98, it's puts everything back.
