HELP!!!!!  No matter how hard I try, I can't seem to get PC-DOS 3.1 to
give me more environment.  Here is my config.sys file:

	SHELL=C:\COMMAND.COM /P C:\ /E:63
	FILES=20
	DEVICE=C:\DOS\ANSI.SYS
	BUFFERS=30
	COUNTRY=001
	LASTDRIVE=Z

I can leave out the shell= line and it makes no difference at all.  I
still run out of environ space at the same place in my list of set
commands.  YES, I am sure that I'm running DOS 3.10.  What is going on
here?  Answer by main unless it is of interest to the whole net.

Thanks in advance...
