I'm running Windows 3.0 in 386 enhanced mode on top of DOS 4.0.
Is there a way to tell Windows to start a Non-Windows application
with a larger environment? Any time I run a batch file (from Windows)
that sets environment variables I get `out of environment space'
errors. The SHELL command in my config.sys is using the /e parameter,
and I have modified the Properties of the DOS Prompt program (in the
Main Windows group) to add /e:1024 to the COMMAND.COM command line
which gives the spawned COMMAND.COM a 1K environment. I can't seem
to find any way to give other Non-Windows applications a larger
environment. Anybody have any ideas?

Sal.
