Wondering if anyone out there remembers this stuff -- circa 1999

It's been a long time, but I'll throw out some guesses based on fuzzy memories from the distant past :-)

1) How does WO 4.5 on NT define environment variables that don't appear in the standard NT env-var control panel? I can echo $NEXT_ROOT in a shell, but there is no def in the panel?? How can I inspect these hidden variables? (sorry that was 2 in 1)

I believe that the WO environment variables are system, not user environment variables. Are you looking at the system environment variables? I believe that I recall the user environment variables being in an upper pane of the environment variable panel with the system environment variables being in the lower pane (or maybe vice- versa :-) But there shouldn't be any "hidden" environment variables.

The first one in the list is C:\\WebObjects\Library, which I am suspicious of the double '\\', but I can't figure out how the command is putting that together.

I'm suspicious of a PATH that contains "WebObjects\Library". PATH should contain path prefixes like $NEXT_ROOT\Library and $NEXT_ROOT \Local\Library. What is the value of $NEXT_ROOT as echoed at a shell prompt? Maybe $NEXT_ROOT is "C:\\WebObjects" which would be non- standard but possible, I guess. "\\" shouldn't make the path invalid. Does C:\WebObjects exist? If not, where is the WO root?

Aloha,
Art
