[comp.os.msdos.programmer] Environment size in a DOS shell

gene@uokmax.ecn.uoknor.edu (Gene E. Johannsen) (10/02/90)

I would like an environment larger than 160 bytes in a DOS shell, but I haven't
been able to figure out how to make it work.

Does anyone know?

Check out the CONFIG.SYS command SHELL as in:

SHELL=C:\COMMAND.COM /E:256 /P
