   Hello all,   
      
   Many years ago I wrote a DOS program which could read, remove and create the   
   consoles environment variables.   The same does not work under Windows   
   anymore (neither by using INT 2Eh, nor by following the PSP chain up to the   
   console program and than grabbing the environment segment from it).    This   
   is most likely because the programs get wrapped in an ntvdm shell, which   
   gets discarded when the program ends.   
      
   I've been googeling for it a while, but have not stumbled on anything   
   informational in that regard.   
      
   So, does anyone know of any other way to change environment variables *from   
   within a DOS program* under Windows (XP) ?   
      
   And its fine, and even preferred, if the changes are non-permanent and for   
   the current console only.     Its also fine if it only works within a   
   batchfile run within such a console.   
      
   Regards,
