My interpretation of the following phrase from the manual:

quote:
The environment of the current process (KiXtart 95) is not affected.
is SET, SETL, & SETM do not effect the DOS environment space that kixtart 'sees' locally.

I agree with NTDOC, in addition, I do not see how trying to write to a external variable space & then trying to read it back into the local space make things more understandable. In my opinion, this complicates the logic of the script.
