Hmm... :-)

given that more than a dozen (14 to be exact) programs are complete enough to have a binary

another almost a dozen (11 to be exact) are described as 'Here lie several unfinished implementations of MS-DOS utilities. Some of them are barely stubs, and some of them are semi-functional. Many of them are very buggy.'

https://github.com/buricco/doslite/blob/main/exper/readme.txt

and command.a86 contains a section
; A list of commands that would really need to be implemented into COMMAND.COM ; proper once the framework is built for it: ; ; CALL (modifies the batch state machine) ; EXIT (exit from what?) ; FOR (relies heavily on the internal COMMAND.COM infrastructure ; which isn't finished yet) ; GOTO (modifies the batch state machine) ; IF (needs access to errorlevels) ; PATH (modifies the environment) ; PROMPT (modifies the environment) ; SET (modifies the environment) ; SHIFT (modifies the batch state machine) ;

and no kernel in sight: this isn't going anywhere :-|
