The actual meaning of /p is PERMANENT. 
It instructs command.com, or whatever shell you might be loading,
that it is the first and master shell and that it should NEVER exit.
It has nothing to do with environment.
As far as I can tell, the increase in environment size for /e is not
passed on to a sub-shell
BUT you do seem to be able to do /e for the command "command" so as
to enlarge environment space for a sub shell!
