An increasing number of programs require special environment variables before
they will function correctly (at all). I want to be able to set-up these
variables within my GEM desktop and then just execute .TTPs as required.

Do I just add lines to ASSIGN.SYS, or is life not that simple ? If that is
the answer what format should the line be, is it just:

VARIABLE=value

like the path commands?


Seeking enlightenment (as always),
