Re: Run out Environment in DesqView Windows:
   I had the same problem, my batch files tried to set environ space inside a
DV window, but there was none left and it didn't work. The solution is to
specify in the "Program to run" field the path to your COMMAND.COM. Then, in
the "Command line parameters" field place something like:
         /e:XXX /c BATCH.BAT
   Replace the "XXX" with the new environment size, in segments or something,
not sure, I use 512, and replace BATCH.BAT with the batch file you want to
run as that window. Thus, you spawn a new command.com that allocates the
proper amount of space for a larger environment. I have no idea what will
happen if you specify a environ size larger than the one you specified in
your CONFIG.SYS file. Experiment. :-)
   Also, you'll have to make sure the "Exit on return to DOS" param in the DV
setup screen is set to No, since it will basically be running DOS as far as
DV knows.
   Hope this helps...
