They want to "manipulate the value of AA in the swing programs" - they said
nothing about manipulating AA itself, nor about needing to change the value
of that envronment variable. (You can't do that in Java.)
They wanted to know how to obtain the value of an environment variable, so
that they could manipulate that value. I gave them information which would
assist them in achieving that goal. Instead of misinterpreting, and throwing
around implicit insults, perhaps you should do something like.. ooh, I don't
know.. think, then write - perhaps?
