Among the many things documented in your DOS manual (which you wouldn't have
if your DOS is pirated, i.e., stolen, of course), you'll find this is
clearly documented.  You need to explicitly define your operating shell,
with a command similar to the following:

SHELL=C:\Command.Com /E:1024 /P

I say 'similar' because the version of DOS you have will impact the format
of the command, as well as the number you use after the /E: parameter.  Most
versions of DOS use bytes to specify, however there was, I believe, one
release that used 256K paragraphs.  Likewise, you might very well have
additional parameters, such as in DOS v5.0, which might look like this:

SHELL = C:\DOS\Command.Com C:\DOS /E:1024 /P

Good luck.  And read the manual.  It's a quick read, and very informative.
