Hi.

	I realize that this has been posted before, but I cannot find
any reference to it.  I need to expand the size of the environment
under true blue PCDOS 3.3.  The manual tells me that I can use the
/E:xxxx parameter to the COMMAND command to run a subshell with a
larger environment, but how can I change the enviroment size of the
current command processor.  If someone can point me to a program to
do this, or even the DOS calls needed to do this (if that is how it
is done), I would really appreciate it.  Again, sorry if you've
seen this question (and the answer) before.

Thanks in advance.

PS. I would really like something that I can put in my AUTOEXEC.BAT
to change it automatically, since the problem that I am running into
is lack of environment space when setting some variables there.
