  13. I've noticed (while installing the Auc-TeX package) that evaluation of
  14. (getenv "HOSTTYPE") in an Emacs2.1 window started by clicking on the
  15. Emacs2.1 icon in the workspace returns nil.  However, in an Emacs2.1
  16. window started from the commandline it returns "next".  What gives?
