DOS Prompt ignores setting of DosCommandBoxSpec

Marek,
First of all thank you for a wonderful program. I'd like to report a bug concerning the DOS / command line prompt:
In version 2006.6 you introduced a new configuration variable DosCommandBoxSpec, which provides a way to use an alternative command line processor. Apparently this setting is used only when opening a command prompt using Ctrl -D (or Extras / DOS Box).
However the integral command prompt (at the bottom) always uses CMD.EXE and ignores the configured command processor. I hope to see this minor problem fixed for the next release of FreeCommander.
By the way, I came across this bug because I started using the excellent Take Command command processor (formerly called 4DOS/4NT), which is now free (see jpsoft . com).
Regards,
EZ.
