To change the environment size in MS-DOS 3.1 add the following line to your
config.sys file:


shell=c:\dos\command.com c:\dos /e:40 /p

Environment size is specified in paragraphs (16 bytes) so the above will give
you 640 bytes environment space. MS-DOS 3.2 specifies in bytes so it would be
... /e:640.

Note that the line above assumes the first time it loads command.com it will be
in the directory c:\dos (you can change this to suit your preferences). It 
will reload command.com when necessary from c:\dos (2nd parameter), environment
size is 40 paragraphs (/e:40) and command.com is made permanent in memory
(/p).

I have used this reliably on Z-148 running MS-DOS 3.1
