This is more a shell issue than anything else...see below.

Is there a reason you have to use command.com?  Many replacements
support this sort of thing...and really, what would the alternative
be?  Syntaxwise, it would be necessary for the name of the logfile
to be fixed (in $GO32, probably); that would also be rather awkward.

Please...especially if it can read info files.  (emacs is a bit too
large for my taste...)

I suppose it must be in the go32 source.
Speaking of unlisted FAQs, what precisely does DJGPP stand for?
I've been able to do more than make some (fairly) reasonable guesses.
