My path statement has exceeded the legal limit allowed by DOS.  Is there
any way to extend this?  I thought the standard way would be to do:

CONFIG.SYS:

shell=c:\command.com /e:512 /p

Since my environment space was initially set to 256bytes.  Adding another
256 did not help.  I have one hard drive, so I have lots of stuff like:

PATH=C:\BIN\WINDOWS;C:\BIN\WINDOWS\EXCEL;C:\DOS\UTILS\NORTON50;etc. etc.

I tried using the SUBST for the more frequently accesed directories:

SUBST U: C:\DOS\UTILS

So I could use U: instead, but Windows 3.0 chokes on the SUBST command.

Any pointers?
