  The environment space can be set individually.  
	1. Go to the icon for the dos program (or command.exe) you want
to start.
	2. Select Properties, then DOS SETTINGS
	3. Select Other: DOS Shell
	4. Edit the shell line to look something like this:

		C:\OS2\MDOS\COMMAND.COM C:\OS2\MDOS /P /E:1024

	The important part is the /E:1024,  that reserves 1024 bytes of 
environment space, it is usually enough.  You could reserve more if you
need it.  This will only apply instances started up with this icon, not all
DOS boxes or applications.  If you want to increase the environment space
for all DOS boxes, find the SHELL statement in your OS/2 config.sys file
and add the /E:xxxx part.  Then reboot. 

Good luck
