Hi LD; Interestingly (or not), the environment problem is related to the use of DOSs before 6.20. In 6.20 and above, the spawned environment is 256 bytes minimum. In earlier DOSs, it is equal to 1 byte more than what you have already USED regardless of what you have committed. Since this does not affect Michael, the chances of getting it fixed are smaller than we might like. Here is a reasonable and simple fix that I suggested to the boss: In DOSSHELL.bat change %COMSPEC% to %COMSPEC% %2 and add %2 to the COMMAND.COM line - same file. ADD (space)/e:512 to the end of file/dosshell.dgi in mime.cfg. This will make it easier for users to modify the shelled environment size. - Clarence Verge -- - Help stamp out FATWARE.
