The environment size can be increased by patching command.com. I
received the following many moons ago, and it works great. (been using
it many moons).
Remember that whenever patching command.com, be sure to have a backup
ready in case of troubles.

Subject: Environment Space
From: Craig Milo Rogers <ROGERS@USC-ISIB.ARPA>
I patched my COMMAND.COM to use a 2K byte environment. Start
with DEBUG COMMAND.COM. Check the location CS:ECE. In my copy of COMMAND
it is a MOV BX,000A. Use the Assemble command to insert a new value, the
number of paragraphs of environment space. I used MOV BX,0080. Write the
new COMMAND.COM back to disk. A little caution is in order, such as
comparing the size of the new COMMAND.COM to that of the old COMMAND.COM,
before you execute the new one.
