-
- Hmmm, I have an environment of 1024 in each of my OS/2 DOS sessions. I used
- the statement:
- SHELL=E:\OS2\MDOS\COMMAND.COM E:\OS2\MDOS /P /E:1024
-
- in my E:\CONFIG.SYS file (OS/2 boots from E: on my system).
-
- This is essentially what I have in C:\CONFIG.SYS, with a different directory
- involved for COMMAND.COM, so that when I boot DOS I also get a 1024byte
- environment (DOS boots from C:).
-
- Does this help?
