Hi,

I'm working on an article about the environment, and found something which
was new to me, namely that DOS (at least MS-DOS and FreeDOS, haven't
checked with DR-DOS yet) actually doesn't give the primary shell an
environment of 0000h when CONFIG.SYS uses a MENU. This mini environment is
used to pass the menu selections to the primary shell.

Does anyone know actually how the FreeDOS kernel determines the size of
that environment block? Empirically, it seems that FreeDOS allocates 112
(70h) bytes or 7h paragraphs of 16 bytes. Where is it defined? I'd love to
also know if anyone knows anything about MS-DOS and/or DR-DOS?
