I am using a version of PC/VI, and have been trying for some time now
to get the EXINIT environment variable set to my liking.  On Unix, it is
set as such:

EXINIT="set ai sw=4 terse"
export EXINIT

On the PC, I am unable to get an '=' in an environment variable,
The best that I have been able to do so far is settle for:

set EXINIT=se ai terse

I would like to be able to do something like

set EXINIT="set ai sw=4 terse"
or
set EXINIT=set ai sw\=4 terse
...

but I have had no luck.  If anyone knows how to achieve this feat, please
post it, or respond via email.

BTW

set EXINIT=set ai sw 4 terse

doesn't work either.
