A number of people have asked us for information on DOS shell variables, LOGIN scripts and AUSTOEXEC.BAT files. It is worth noting, that if you set the environment variable within the login script or within a menu called from the login script, then that variable will not be set until the login script is exited. The way to get around this is to set the variable in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file. [researched by Darron Lonstein]
