 LE> Alas, "HOME" is not something like "Path". It has no meaning to the
 LE> OS. The *program* that wants it set is probably using it to store the
 LE> location of its "home" directory. The *program* doesn't expect it to
 LE> be shared.

 LE> But you can set up BAT or CMD files to run the programs. And use this
 LE> sort of setup:

 LE> SET SAVE=%HOME   <<====<<<
 LE> SET HOME=xxxxxx
 LE> {stuff to actually start program goes here}
 LE> SET HOME=%SAVE   <<====<<<

Shouldn't those two marked <<====<<< be %HOME% and %SAVE% ??
Thanks, and Good Modeming!  /\oo/\
