Keywords: set procomm=\dir\ doesn't seem to work ...

I am a recent user of procomm, v2.4.2, and generally prefer it over my
previous package, which shall go unnamed.  However, I can't seem to be able
to get procomm to start successfully from any directory except its home.  If
procomm doesn't start from its home directory, it can't find its configuration
files unless its environment string is set.

Following the instructions on page 102 of the manual, I ran the following in
my autoexec.bat:

	SET PROCOMM=C:\COMM\

(Yes, the trailing backslash is needed, according to the manual.)  The problem
is, procomm doesn't seem to use it.

Any suggestions?  My mailer is flaky.  Please post replies to the net.

TIA.
