In this months PC Magazine there is an article dealing with this subject, exactly, page 421 of the August issue. In it is says you can change your environment space by using the following command in your CONFIG.SYS file.. shell=c:\command.com /P /E:512 where COMMAND.COM is in the root directory of the c drive and 512 is the amount of space you want reserved for your environment. I have used it, I was given the traditional warning about envir.. space before but not after. The article also gives some references to look at if you are more interested in what is going on here. This may not be the ultimate solution, but then again.. :^). If there is something major that I am overlooking someone in the know can correct me. later... kevin -- ************************************************************************* Kevin Tomasek kevin@neptune.amd.com AMD - Advanced Micro Devices, Austin, Tx (512)462-5381 *************************************************************************
