How to hide DOS programs?

FAQ - Hand Held ProductsTypically a DOS based program is character based. The DOS program puts a prompt on the display and the user inputs key strokes as a reply.

When I run programs within a shell I get Incorrect DOS version messages. Why?
GNU Emacs FAQ for WindowsThis might happen if, for example, you invoke nmake in a shell and it tries to create subshells. The problem is related to the one above where, again, when the shell is initially created, the first argument to the shell is not the directory in which the shell program resides. When this happens, command.com fabricates a value for its COMSPEC environment variable that is incorrect. Then, when other programs go to use COMSPEC to find the shell, they are given the wrong value.
