        !             6: 
        !             7:         Elvis  examines several environment variables when it starts up.
        !             8:      The values of these variables are used internally for a variety  of
        !             9:      purposes.   You don't need to define all of these; on most systems,
        !            10:      Elvis only requires TERM to be defined.  On  MS-DOS  systems,  even
        !            11:      that is optional.  
        !            12:

        !            18:      of the termcap file to search through.  
        !            19:

        !            22: 
        !            23:         These only  work  for  MS-DOS  and  Atari  TOS.  Either of these
        !            24:      variables may be used to set the "directory" option, which controls 
        !            25:      where temporary files are stored.  If you define  them  both,  then
        !            26:      TMP is used, and TEMP is ignored.  
        !            27:

        !            31:         This  variable  may  contain a colon-mode command, which will be
        !            32:      executed after all of the  ".exrc"  files  but  before  interactive
        !            33:      editing begins.  
        !            34:

        !            37: 
        !            38:         You  can use COMSPEC in MS-DOS, or SHELL in any other system, to
        !            39:      specify which shell should  be  used  for  executing  commands  and
        !            40:      expanding wildcards.

        !            46:      directory.  Elvis needs to know the name of your home directory  so
