subject: idea for program

jl> - when program is launched, a hard-coded "dummy" 
 jl> environment variable is set (using wpSetProgDetails).

I had envisioned overriding the launch method (and calling
DosStartSession myself).  Would this solve the problem?

 jl> - using wpSetProgDetails seems to have no effect when
 jl> a DOS session object is launched.

My reason for coming up with this idea was the insane length of my
config.sys LIBPATH -- something that does not affect DOS programs.  IOW,I
don't think supporting dos pgms is a priority.

 jl> - how the info written in the "Environment" page 
 jl> should be saved?

Hmmm;  I'd say in an EA attached to the exe -- that way,  when the exe is
erased, the env data goes with it.

I'm sorry I can't be of more help -- I don't know much about WPS.
