- I assume all the environment variables, such as INIT, etc., are
- described in the documentation. Can someone tell me where in the
- documentation to look for them? Also is there some kind of master
- index, or some easy way to search the documentation?
-
- And is there an explanation somewhere of all the initialization files,
- such as autoexec.bat, telling which files get read when, etc.? For
- example, I noticed it seems to execute autoexec.bat the first time I
- run a non-windows program after starting the command shell, and that
- if I exit the command shell and invoke it again, it will execute
- autoexec.bat the next time I run a non-windows program again, but only
- for the first non-windows program of each command shell. That seems
- a little strange, so I want to read that chapter, and my question now
- is how do I find that chapter?
-
- I also noticed that it doesn't execute the login script file I give
- it for a user. I assume it should execute that file at login, and I'm
- wondering if anyone reading this has succeeded in making that work.
- (I put the filename in the "Login Script Name" field of the "User
- Environment Profile" window and the path where that file is located
- in the "Local Path" field of that window.)
