The source of the confusion is that PATH is both a command and an

Well, the source code's already been written, but I'd like a few more
people's OK :-).

So who is for making HELLO=blah equal to SET HELLO=blah in FreeCOM?
And according to POSIX, %PWD% is supposed to be set to the current
directory by CD. Is anyone against adding these features?

Well I don't understand why PATH=blah blah would be accepted but
HELLO=blah blah wouldn't work.

Both are accepted by MS-c
both are not correct, as the second one would need to be prefixed with
SET to work correctly.

Both.

Here is Eric's comment (sent by private email). I decided to post it here
because someone else might find it useful as well.
-
L: which version of the following commands in Fdauto.bat is correct?
Eric:
- version 1 is correct
- version 2: dos has no way to know that "temp" is not the nam
Of course, just for the record, SET PATH=blah blah blah does exactly
the same thing and works just as well.

Thanks, everyone. Sorry that my original question wasn't very clear.
Arkady somehow managed to get what I really meant. To clarify, the
question should have been posted as:
which version of the following commands in Fdauto.bat is correct?
version #1:
SET DOSDIR=D:\FDOS
SET NLSDIR=%DOSDIR%\NLS

"SET" isn't required only for PROMPT and PATH
Hi. All of the environment variables that you use above are used in
FreeDOS apps, so depending on what you want out of FreeDOS you _do_
need those set lines. DOSDIR is used for fdpkg to install new
packages, NLSDIR is used by kittenized apps to locate translated
messages, HELPPATH is used by HELP
In my Fdauto.bat I've always had SET command everywhere. Someone has just
pointed out that I could probably skip SET in most (all?) of the lines.
I have even come across a notion that in ms-dos "set was used to set
other environment variables/parameters but not the path".
Tnx, Lester
