An important note: In NT4 if you set an environment variable through the System Control Panel, it will not be available in DOS sessions until you logout and login again. I discovered this when I was doing a weird hand tweaked install of Indigo Perl (don't ask).

Update Re: tye Perhaps it is peculiar to how our boxes are set up here, but clicking OK and/or Apply in the System CP has no effect on any current (no surprise there) or new command prompt windows (unless you logout/in). tye is right when he says a new window should have the proper environment settings. None of my employer's machines shows the reasonable behavior tye speaks of. YMMV. Don't you just love Windows.
