In DOS 3.2, one could specify DOS's environment space in the config.sys file with a line something like (I don't remember the exact syntax): SHELL=c:\command.com /e:512 (That may have been /p:512, I can't remember exactly). The point is that they changed it in DOS 3.3+!!!!!!!!!! And of course, the manual doesn't even mention the environment space (Working with Ms-Dos is like having a nickel shoved up ...). Does anyone know how to increase the environment space for DOS 3.3+? Pls email responses as I hate PC's and don't read the group. Thanks for the information!! -- Jason Coughlin ( jk0@sun.soe.clarkson.edu , jk0@clutx ) "Every jumbled pile of person has a thinking part that wonders what the part that isn't thinking isn't thinking of." - They Might Be Giants
