As stated before, MacOS has no concept of environment variables, so
variables with names that start with $ are just the same as globals.
On Windows, you can get environment variables defined before MetaCard
starts up (e.g., try "put $TEMP" in the MB), but setting them isn't
much use because they aren't exported and so you can't use them to
pass data to subprocesses.
