Hi Howard;
The first part I will have to check because I just don't believe that
the "shelled" size is limited to the previously "used" size.

The second part, however, is simple to get around.
Instead of shelling by calling COMMAND, call COMMAND /E:nnn.

WHOA! Holy *SHIT* !! Howard is right !
I just checked my environment with Arachne 1.6 loaded and shelled to DOS.
192 BYTES and ONE BYTE FREE !!
I had 992 bytes in the master environment !!

OK. Edit DOSSHELL.bat in ARACHNE\SYSTEM\DGI and change the line:
%COMSPEC%  to  %COMSPEC% /e:992   (or what number you like)

Thanks Howard !
