   It actually works just fine in Windows, it's just that each DOS 
   app that is run in a DOS window inside Windows is run inside a 
   seperate virtual dos machine, with it's own *seperate* memory 
   space, including it's own *seperate* environment. When you close 
   the app, the changes to the individual environment are lost.
   There is, however, a way to make changes to the parent 
   environment that will survive the closure of the dos process.
