While this isn't strictly a programming question, I figured that this 
would be the best place to find someone who can answer this.

I want to be able to set up a set of DOS settings for DOS sessions that 
are invoked using the OS/2 'START' command, or, equivalently, by typing 
the name of a DOS .EXE file from the OS/2 prompt.  (I'm assumming that 
OS/2 pretends that you typed 'START /DOS <command>' when you try to 
execute a DOS-only .EXE file from the OS/2 command line).

Is there a method for doing this?  Perhaps something in CONFIG.SYS?  I 
want to be able to control things like DOS_LASTDRIVE and 
NETWARE_RESOURCES (I'm running the Novell OS/2 Requester).

Any and all help is appreciated.  (e-mail replies preferred, only one 
hop from Internet)
