SETENVAR.EXE

From EDM2

This utility writes a prompted CONFIG.SYS environment-variable directive. Documented directly in its message catalog (shared with LAPSDISK.EXE/LAPSRSP.EXE/ THINLAPS.EXE, which references it by name), it defines an environment variable and a prompt string for it; the actual interactive prompt is presented later, when CONFIG.SYS is processed at boot/install time — this program itself has no keyboard/screen imports and just writes the directive.

Syntax

SETENVAR /V:EnvVariableName /P:"PromptString"

Parameters

/V
EnvVariableName
Name of the environment variable to be created
/P
"PromptString"
Prompt string shown when the variable's value is requested

Notes

The /V://P: pair can be repeated to define multiple variables in one invocation. Used by THINLAPS.EXE for parameters that support a prompted alternative (e.g. its IP:/(P)IP: and H:/(P)H: options).
