This is a reference to the space that MSDOS uses to keep track of environment variables. It doesn't really have anything to do with Windows, per se. In the CONFIG.SYS file, there must be a line that looks like this: SHELL=C:\COMMAND.COM /e:4096 This is the ONLY way to change the environment size and it must be done at startup. You cannot do this after startup. If you have a "SHELL=" line already, change it to look like the one above. The default environment size is 1k and this increases it to 4k. It's not likely that would still be too small, but you can change the "4096" to "8196" to specify an 8k environment space. Maximum size is 32k, but you should never need to go anywhere near that big. Note that if a PIF file has been created for COMMAND.COM, that would overrule any other setting when running under Windows. Change the PIF file in that case to specify a larger environment space. I would strongly suggest getting this running under DOS first, and then it *SHOULD* work under Windows from that point. Changing the DPMI stack size is not an issue yet at this point, although it may be necessary later. On Sun, 29 Jun 1997 17:42:54 -0700, "Linda J.
