In your CONFIG.SYS file (if you don't have one, then create it) there should be
a line that says:
shell=c:\command.com c:\ /p /e:1024
the number after the e: is how many bytes to have in your environment space.
By the way, I don't know the exact level of DOS you need for this to work;
I know that it does work fine for v3.3 and up.
