  8.  
  9. COMMAND
  10.  
  11. PURPOSE: Allows you to overide the default stack resources.
  12.  
  13. FORMAT:  STACKS=n,s
  14.  
  15.  
  16. REMARKS: n is the number of stack frames. The default number
  17.          of stack frames is 9. The range of values for n is
  18.          from 8 to 64.
  19.  
  20.          s is the size (in bytes) of each stack frame. The
  21.          default size of each frame is 128 bytes. The range
  22.          of values for s is from 32 to 512.
  23.  
  24.  
  25.                   NOTE: Increasing stack resources reduces
  26.                         available memory. It is advised
  27.                         that you increase the number of
  28.                         stacks first when trying to alleviate
  29.                         the stack error condition.
  30.           
  31.              
  32.           Each time a hardware interrupt occurs, DOS allocates one
  33.           frame from the stack pool. After the interrupt has been
  34.           processed, DOS returns the frame to the stack pool.SHELL

  44.  
  45.  
  46. PURPOSE: Allows you specify the name and location of a top
  47.          level command processor that DOS initialization
  48.          loads in place of COMMAND.COM. 
  49.  
  50.  
  51. PARAMETERES:
  52.          /E:xxxx specifies base 10 integer and indicates
  53.           the number of bytes to set the environment size.
  54.           This number must be in the range of 160 to 32768.
  55.      
  56.          /P causes COMMAND.COM to execute AUTOEXEC.BAT 
  57.           once it gets installed. 
  58.  
  59.  
  60.                            put it this way in your CONFIG.SYS
  61.                            SHELL= COMMAND.COM /E:512 /P without
  62.                            the /P AUTOEXEC.BAT will not execute.
