Once again, the occasional quirkiness of the Zenith software strikes.  I need
to define just a couple more eensy-weensy environment variables, and I've got
the deadly "Out of environment space" message.  And yet, when I use the
standard MS-DOS way of changing that environment space, it don't work.  How
*does* one tell the Zenith to (say) allocate 4K for the environment space?

I don't believe that this is anything but standard DOS but this works on
my Zenith with dos 4.01

SHELL=C:\COMMAND.COM /P /E:1024

In my config.sys file does the trick.  You can change the 1024 to 
however much space you want to allocate.  Hope this helps.
