Well, this is about the fastest place to get a reply to which I need
an an answer really quick like. I keep running out to of environment
space and I need to set the comspec to a bigger value (1024k) but I
don't have a DOS manual that has the command line for it, and I know
that its late and no one would be open at this hour. If you could
please mail me the set comspec to enlarge my environment space I would
be indebted to you (or many of yous) :->
Thanks in advance

In MS-DOS v 3.2 or higher, you need to put the following line in your config.sys: SHELL=C:\{path}\COMMAND.COM /E:1024 /P where {path} is the path to your command.com. The /E:#### parameter sets the environment size, and the /P tells it to use your autoexec.bat file. /P is *not* the default; if you leave it off, your autoexec file will not be 'auto.' I discovered this when I had to change my environment size last month... -- Dave Read | readdm@ccwf.cc.utexas.edu |"I will go insane, and UT-Austin Nuclear Physics | read@physics.utexas.edu | I WILL TAKE YOU WITH ME Graduate Student (Slave) | read@lampf.lanl.gov | -from 'Beetlejuice'
