The effects with MWC seems to me (I can only guess, I don't have this
program) a result of GEMBOOT's initialization of the DESKTOP environment
string.
Initially the PATH variable is set to ";C:\" and can be set to your needs
with SETPATH.TTP.

BTW: I would like to know, if there is any interest in a multiple variable
support of the DESKTOP environment string ?
SETPATH does only modify the PATH variable.
