I'm trying to get bash to work on my machine (DOS 6.20, Win
3.11), but I'm having trouble with batch files: any "set"
command that tries to create a new variable causes an error
message that says there's not enough environment space
available. Is there any way to provide batch files with a
bigger environment by default? (Executing them via
"command.com /c batchfile" or "rundos batchfile" works, but
you can imagine I'd prefer a simpler way.)

By the way, what exactly is one supposed to do with the
rundos.sh script that's included in bsh1147b.zip? I've looked
at it and seen what it does, but I haven't found any hint how
to use it: do I always have to type "rundos foo" explicitly,
or can I also tell bash somehow, for example, to call it
automatically for .bat and .com files?
