If they are far enough apart that they should be distinct, call them something different. But to have %*ENV be called "environment variables" while "env $foo" be called "environmental variables", you're cruisin' for a world of hurt, and I say this as someone who will have to document this and teach this to a group of newbies for every week of my upcoming life. -- Randal L.
