   Is it possible to make a dos variable from a first windows dos box available   
   for a second dos box?   
      
   I want to set the name of a backup subdir in a bat file executed at startup,   
   and have it available in subsequent dos boxes the user might open later on   
   during the rest of the day.   
      
   OK, I know I could write it in a file and read it out later, but I would   
   like to know if it could be done in memory, f.e. by adding a switch to the   
   cmd command, or something like that.
