- GRIN... I know Term is rather rude in installing itself in envarc:, but I
- thought that newer versions have a an alternative (isn't there a TERM: assign?)
- $OBARTHEL looks nice ;-))

- as wanted? How's want this path in uppercase? shudder.. ;-)))

- What's the difference then?
-
- Nah, the problem with ksh was, that I wanted it to be as compatible as
- possible with the Unix thing, so I could run various configure scripts
- written for /bin/sh under AmigaDOS. With that goal, it was not acceptable to
- give the colon the special meaning it has in amigados, the colon is needed
- as a path-separator.

- Hmm.. you're not talking about the various options to ixconfig that fine-tune
- this parsing, do you?
-

-
- The default is in RAM:, if you set a $HOME variable, it's there.
