  The default space is 160 bytes for 2.x & 3.1
  The environment space for 2.x can be increased via a patch as discussed
  in PC Tech Journal Nov.'86 p.49 .  If you don't have the issue email me
  for the instructions.  V 3.1 and on use SHELL in config.sys to increase
  environment space.  If MKS Toolkit doesn't work, in Dos 2.1, it isn't
  because of lack of environment space as a little work with DEBUG can
  fix that problem.
