	Does anybody know how to increase the environment space used by
	variables when executing command.com in a window?  Seems like
	SHELL= .. /E .. doesn't affect the copy of comman.com being
	executed in a window.

	Any help?

What I did to "fix" this, is to put "SET DUMMY=aa . . . aaa" in my
autoexec.bat.  When a new command.com/DOS app. is fired up in Win 3.0,
with a batch file invocation, I put a "SET DUMMY=" line in it to free
that amount of environment space.
