                              Purpose

Advanced Set enhances the capabilities of the dos SET command.
With ASET it is possible to append to, delete from, rename etc. the 
strings in the dos environment.
You can change variables from upper to lower case or opposite. 
The names and values can be read from standard input.
Furthermore you can use ASET to create variables with lower case letters, 
ie. variables unreachable by the set command. 
This is also useful in combination with Windows where the environment 
variable "windir" determines the directory for the .ini-files. If you 
set windir BEFORE starting windows, it will use that value. That way 
you don't need to have win.com in each user's windir.
