How can I set environment variables like
	MGINIT=C:\BIN\MG.INI
from a program (using C os asm) ?  I would like the program to
run from the autofolder. Can this be made into a desk accessory?
I have seen assembly code posted to News but I could not get it
to work (ran but did not effect environment).
Thanks for any advice/info.
