Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

     environment, environment table
 
     An area of memory defined by the operating system that contains
     text variables known as environment variables.
 
     In PWB, you can use the following syntax to specify the value of
     an environment variable:
 
         $(ENV) │ $ENV:
 
     where <ENV> is the uppercase name of the environment variable. PWB
     recognizes this syntax wherever you specify a path or filename.
 
     Example
 
     To open the TOOLS.INI file in the INIT directory, use the name
 
          $INIT:tools.ini
 
     in the Open File dialog box or as an argument to the Openfile or
     Setfile functions.
