Luis,

Dosshell originally appeared on MS-Dos 4.0, and for some reason I had
thought it never made it into newer versions, but it did. I found
a reference that said in DOS Version 6 this program is stored on the
"DOS supplemental disk". If the disks you have are the OEM disks
that came with the computer, it's possible that the supplement disk
was not included.
