In my autoexec.bat I have 'SET EXINIT=set mo sm wl=5'
                                                  ^ Note this '=' sign.

However when I run my autoexec.bat I get SYNTAX ERROR and the EXINIT
variable is not set.

I have solved this by useing: 'SET EXINIT=set mo sm wl~5' and patching
the environment directly useing debug.  Is there a easier way to insert
in the environment a string that contains '=' ?
