The problem is that your environment size is not large enough.  In order to
increase it, you need to use the COMMAND command in your autoexec.bat file.
For the proper syntax, look in your dos manual.  Also, look at the replies on
how to make Microsoft Word look elsewhere for command.com.  Many of them
suggest using the COMMAND command and give examples of how to use it properly.
