The "/e:nn" part controls how big an environment space is desired. The "nn" is a number from 10 to 62 (defaulting to 10) indicating how many 16-byte chunks of memory are to be reserved for the environment space. The "/p" tells that this copy of COMMAND.COM is to be permanent; also causes AUTOEXEC.BAT to be executed. This works for DOS 2.x and DOS 3.1 For DOS 3.2 (and probably 3.3), the value "nn" must be in bytes (max 32000) --------------------- Steve Harrold ...hplabs!hpsmtc1!swh HPG200/13 1-447-4480 ---------------------
