  Not only does it work, it does more than advertised.  If you have a 
program that runs in graphics mode and you want to shell to dos...

  system("mshell");

  ...will give you a prompt, but leave your image intact.  And if you 
want a "real" shell, you can do...

  system("mshell 4dos");  ...or...  system("mshell command");

  Thank you DJ, this is _exactly_ what I had been looking for. :) :)
