Hello-
	I am looking for someone to send me information about how to 
perminantly set DOS environment variables from within a C program, so that
when the program finishes, the variable remains set.  I realize that it has to
do with finding the location of the environment stored in memory, but have no
clue to go about finding it.

	E-Mail responses please.  Thanks!
