I'm hoping someone could help me figure this out...

I need to set an environment variable from within a windows
program so that the new value replaces the original value
set before windows was started.  Once the new value is 
placed, it has to remain in effect even after the setting
program terminates.

I know this must be possible.  Novell has a Windows version
of Logon and "logon" has to read the logon script "set"
commands.  How is this done?

Even if there are dos xx version specific structures, thats 
fine with me.  Please respond via e-mail.

Thanks.
