Any way to get an MSDOS shell on XP?

Windows XP is not based on MS-DOS, therefore there
is no MS-DOS shell to boot into. Windows XP has
MS-DOS emulation using a Command Prompt.
Go the Start > Run and type: CMD , and hit enter.

There is a "Command Prompt" entry in the Start Menu. That's it. There
is not MS-DOS Mode in Windows XP.
