(Or use programs that don't have those limitations...) I prefer to set context specific environment variables that way too. I do it under *nix with shell scripts. (Under *nix, such files normally have a leading . in the file name, like .profile. Files with that naming convention are not normally displayed in a directory , so you don't see clutter, and current drives are large enough that you simply don't *care* about the space they take up.) ______ Dennis https://plus.google.com/u/0/105128793974319004519 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
