   I have absolutily no idea how I could call a 32-bit Windows DLL function   
   from with in a DOS style 16-bit program.    If you know I surely would like   
   to know.   Something with "thunking" if I remember correctly.

   I know.  But that is not what I need:  The contents of the environment   
   variable would depend on a number of factors that the program would   
   determine.  And yes, I could go in a round-about way at it let the program   
   emit a batchfile witch than gets called as a second step by the a batch   
   which runs my program as a first step, but that is pretty-much what I tried   
   to evade.   
      
   To give a bit more info, I am trying to get the old program to work for a   
   true DOS environment, as well as the console environment XP offers.    That   
   also excludes usage of batch variable extensions specific for an XP console   
   environment I'm afraid.
