No environment space/expanded with XP batch

If I start a batch file named GO.BAT with a shortcut
from the Windows XP desktop, I'm unable to set the
memory for environment space or expanded memory.
The batch file contains the lines:
BTRIEVE
UNIQUE

The only way that I can get this to work is to
create a batch file to GO.BAT and then modify
the target to go.pif later after it is created.

If a startup to go.pif is attempted it says
that go.bat doesn't exist (it does.)

I want to be able to send out a .pif or other file
so that Windows XP allocates enough environment
space and expanded memory. Using XP I've found
that passing values using SHELL can easily fail
on many systems with the error "Program to Big"
because there is inadequate environment space.
Would prefer to be able to send out a .pif rather
than have to create a default.pif on every users
machine.
