	To my knowledge, there are no "built in" environment variables
in GEMDOS.  Under the MWC shell, or Micro-C Shell MicroEMACS can look
down the PATH environment, but invoked from the desktop, it has no such
option. If you still have source, look in the header file EPATH.H and
add the folder you keep your startup file into the list for the atari.
If not, make a /bin folder in the root of the disk you are invoking
emacs from and put the .rc file there.

	Also, what may be of use to you, is upgrading to a more recent
version of MicroEMACS.  Such is available from my BBS system (listed
below) [version 3.9i] and it does support the 50 line mode again (set
$sres to DENSE).
