Are you sure? I thought that was a linker option (don't have the
manual for 3.2 handy, though). 

I use STACK=<number><size> (no final "S" on "stack"). For example,
STACK=9,512.

This may be undocumented, but it doesn't return an "unknown command in
CONFIG.SYS" or some such message the way STACKS=xxx does (I'm running
IBM's PC-DOS 3.2).
