I have a pecular problem.  I am running Netware 386 v3.10 rev A on the
server, and IPX/SPX 3.01b, NETx 3.01d, MS-DOS v4.01 and 4DOS v3.02a on
the workstation.

The problem I have is when a program option is invoked from the menu,
the environment is not passed to the secondary shell that is spawned by
the Menu program.  Only the original path, pre-login, comspec, and
prompt as passed.  No environment variables other than those.

I am using 4DOS's SHELL2E program so as to work with the Novell Menu
that calls INT 2E to reinvoke COMMAND.COM rather than spawning a new
one.
