Overflowing thanks!  We are using IBM GKS, plus a network-to-UNIX thing that
necessitates long path strings, and we are having a lot of trouble with
filling the environment.
    The IBM DOS v3.10 Reference clearly states (SET command, p7-165 para 3)
that if you haven't loaded a stay-resident program, the environment will
be expanded automatically beyond 127 bytes.  But I find it doesn't.  However,
if I load GRAPHICS first, I can cram in 193 bytes and no more.  What's going
on?
