It requires that you make the boot level command.com parameters
resident.  This is done with a line in CONFIG.SYS:

SHELL = C:\COMMAND.COM /E:64 /P


In DOS 2.11, the evrionment is measured in multiples of 16 bytes.
(Shades of segment registers.)  The above example would give you a
16 * 64, or 1,024 byte environment space.  The /P is for permanent.

In DOS 3.2, the environment is give in BYTES!
