Are you running under Win95, bringing up a DOS shell? If so,
I got the same "out of env" messages. To fix, I copied a command.com
to my desktop (not a shortcut), using the right mouse, set that
command.com's memory/initial environment to 4096.

That fixed that "out of environment space" error.
 I also set these properties under the "program"
 tab for my
new command.com:

Working: to my \yaroze\psx wirking directory
Batch file: \yaroze\psx\djsetup.bat

Now I can double click on it, and get a DOS window, cd' into
the right directory, with the environment already set, ready to go.

If you're running in a just-DOS world, you have to put somthing in
c:\config.sys or c:\autoexec.bat - sorry I forgot - like
SHELL=C:\DOS\COMMAND.COM e:\4069
where 4096 is the # 'o enviromnent bytes. 
DOSheads out there clerify what this magic is...?...

I also added this to my Win96 config.sys to get siocons.exe to
display to my window corrently:
device=c:\windows\command\ansi.sys

I got sick of typing siocons a billion times so I added this file,
SI.BAT to my /yaroze/psx/bin directory. It's contents:
siocons %1

Now I can just type "si" to run it.
