1. Look at set-tex.bat, which contains all the environment variable needed
   (and too many more besides).

2. Here is my VIEW.BAT (kept in my \batcave directory, in my path)

@echo off
path >\setpath.bat
path c:\emtex
c:\emtex\dviscr @c:\emtex\view.cnf %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9
\bat\setpath

3. Here is my VIEW.CNF referenced above:

% VIEW.cnf for 300dpi fonts, VGA colour screen
/fs=1    % normal fontsize       
% 1=blue, 2=green, 3=turqoise, 4=brown; 5=magenta, 6=brown, 7&8=grey, 9=blue, 
% 10=green, 11=cyan, 12=red, 13=pink, 14=yellow, 15=white
/ocp=12  % page border
/ocr=13  % ruler
/ocs=11  % status line
/h=297mm
/w=210mm
/fl-1    % fast font load
/hx=0
/hy=0
/pd=c:\emtex\doc\        
/pf=k:\emtex\fonts\$r;c:\emtex\fonts\dpi$r
/pg=c:\emtex\doc\gr$r    
/r=300        
/rf=300       
/oa=16   % VGA
/o=4     % 4 grayscales

BTW I have *never* managed to get the /pd, /pf and /pg stuff set by using
the DVIDRVINPUT, DVIDRVFONTS and DVIDRVGRAPH variables: they just don't
seem to have any effect, so I override them in the VIEW.CNF file. Silly,
but if someone can show me them working, I'll believe it.

Note that in my setup, I refer to two different font hierarchies,
\emtex\fonts\300; \emtex\fonts\329; \emtex\fonts\360; etc   and
\emtex\fonts\dpi300; \emtex\fonts\dpi329; \emtex\fonts;dpi360; etc.
This is because my K: disk is a piece of RMS realestate on my VAX, 
where we hold fonts in common for all machines, and the VMS version of TeX
won't handle directory names beginning "dpi". Another silly.
