- I recently added additional directories to the middle of my path statement
- in the autoexec.bat file. When some of my apps failed to run (system
- couldn't find them), I checked the path and found that the directories on
- the end of the path had been lost. I assumed I needed to increase my
- environment space and therefore added /E:1024 to the shell=command.com
- statement in config.sys and rebooted. This change had no effect. So how
- does one increase the DOS environment under OS/2? I assume others have
- had this problem and this is a FAQ, but I haven't found the answer here or
- in the manual.
