I am thinking of writing a shell that replaces command.com (Why? because I am sick of the stupidities of command.com and want a shell that is tailored to my tastes). One thing I can't figure out is how command.com keeps the environment. Where does it put the environment strings and how does a program running off command.com finds it. Any help will be greatly appreciated. I know there are a lot of IBM PC experts out there. I have tried asking several people I know without results. Please reply by mail because it is finals week and I won't probably be catghing up with net news. Thanks! - Stephen
