-
- This section describes several environment variables that
- affect how <hsc> operates.
-
- <$macro env TITLE:string/required NAME:string/required>
- <DT><A NAME=(NAME)><VAR><(TITLE)></VAR></A><DD>
- </$macro>
-
- <DL>
- <env TITLE="HOME" NAME="home">
-
- If this variable is set, its content will be interpreted as path to
- the user's home directory. When looking for <hsc.prefs>, a
- <file>lib/hsc.prefs</file> will be added to this value, and before
- this also a directory separator (e.g. a <slash>), if necessary.
-
- <env TITLE="HSCPATH" NAME="hscpath">
-
- This variable specifies the directory where <hsc.prefs>
- (see also <ln_syntax>) is located.<BR>
- <STRONG>Example:</STRONG> After a
- <PRE> setenv HSCPATH work:hsc</PRE>
- <hsc> will look for <FILE>work:hsc/hsc.prefs</FILE>.
-
- <env TITLE="HSCSALARY" NAME="hscsalary">
-
- <P>Within several messages, <hsc> refers to the user as a <qq><jerk></qq>.
- This happens if you are using features which are only supported by some
- special browsers. Some people say they are forced by their employee to
- use those features, and therefor feel insulted by <hsc>.</P>
-
- As a solution, you can store the amount of your monthly payment in this
- variable:
-
- <PRE> setenv HSCSALARY 1000</PRE>
-
- After this, <hsc> will stop calling you a <qq>jerk</qq>. Instead, it will
- now use the term <qq>prostitute</qq>.
