In your CONFIG.SYS, insert the following line:
SHELL=x:\COMMAND.COM /e:640 /p

Where x is the drive from which you normally boot your system (Drive C: 
probably). Please note that if a copy of COMMAND.COM cannot be found in 
the root of the drive you specify, you will need a boot disk for your 
first floppy drive to correct your error. 8-)
Also note that the /e: parameter can be set to numbers higher or lower 
than I specified in my sample. 
If you haven't heard of 4DOS, you might want to take a closer look at 
some of the tricks it does with the environment. 

Hope this helps....

Dave
