CMDEBUG and New Shell

I am using;

On the View menu, there is an option at the bottom, New Shell... F7, which does the same thing as the New Shell icon on the toolbar.

On the Options menu, I have TCC Syntax selected.

Without TCMD 18 or TCC 18 running, and only CMDebug running, launched from the Windows 7 Start Menu, when I select New Shell, I am presented with the CMD.EXE window.

Ditto with TCMD 18 or TCC 18 running.

If I launch CMDebug from the TCC 18 window, and select New Shell... F7 from CMDebug, I am presented with the TCC.EXE (version 18.00.32)

If I launch CMDebug from the TCC 21 window, and select New Shell... F7 from CMDebug, I am presented with the TCC.EXE (version 21.01.53)

I have TCC-RT installed, and I would like to use TCC-RT with CMDebug.

When I run the following .BTM;
Code:
echo %_startpath
echo %_4ver
echo %_tccrt
it returns;
Code:
echo C:\Program Files\JPSoft\CMDebug21
C:\Program Files\JPSoft\CMDebug21
echo 21.01
21.01
echo 0
0

...which means CMDebug is not using TCC-RT. I'm pretty sure that I have my system setup to use TCC-RT for .BTM files;
Code:
c:\users\jlc\utils>assoc .btm
.btm=TCCRT.Batch

Is this all WAD? How do I get CMDebug to use the TCC-RT?

CMDebug will never use TCC-RT, because it doesn't need to.

The F7 / New shell option will start whatever is in COMSPEC as an interactive shell. You can't run TCC-RT as an interactive shell, so you'll never be able to get it with the new shell option.

CMDebug has TCC-RT built in, so that's what it runs (internally) when you debug a batch file. It won't identify itself as %_tccrt, because it's running in the debugger.
