LIBPATH is *not* an environment variable; It's CONFIG.SYS statement is not
"SET LIBPATH" but rather just "LIBPATH".  Therefore you cannot modify or
access it as you would a 'regular' environment variable; i.e. %LIBPATH% is
not valid (well, it's technically valid, but doesn't get you anything).

As you stated though, you can use the "SET BEGINLIBPATH" and 
"SET ENDLIBPATH" statements to modify LIBPATH on a per process basis.
