Hello,

The DOSBox shell's VER command displays both the major and minor DOS version as decimal number without leading zeros. This could cause confusion because the command "VER SET 6 2" doesn't set the version to 6.20 as one might expect but instead to 6.02.
The problem here is that, using only "VER" to display the version, it says "Reported DOS version 6.2" instead of "6.02". If it said "6.02" (which is the normal notation for DOS version numbers) the user could easily imagine his fault and then execute "VER SET 6 20" to get the correct result.

Thanks,
Estron

2!=20, second part is lower version number part thus 2
But changing the output to display 02 should be possible.

This is what I requested, yes. Nice!
