I sent a message a few days ago that read as follows:

I have received several suggestions, all of which recommend using
the /E:XXX option of the COMMAND.COM (using the SHELL= command).
Although I am grateful for those individual's interest and help, I failed
to mention in my original question that my Zenith version of MS-DOS 3.1
doesn't appear to support the /E option.  It is not documented, and when I
attempt to use it, no apparent change in environment size occurs.

Again, if anyone has any ideas, I'd be grateful for any addition help.

thanks again.
