4DOS does exactly that. 4DOS is a replacement for COMMAND.COM
that seriously improves on MS's command shell. It can only put
the firs 127 bytes into the PSP, but up to 256 bytes goes into
the environment, coincidentally into a variable named "CMDLINE".
Why they limit it to 256 bytes I haven't the foggiest. 4DOS
is supplied by JP software of Arlington, MA. It is cheep, reliable
and innovative. A sample copy is on many BBS's and CompuServe.
