                      3:

                      5: E11.  ENVIRONMENT VARIABLESF
                      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: 
                     13: 
                     14:    E11.1  TERM, TERMCAPF
                     15: 
                     16:         TERM tells  Elvis the name of the termcap entry to use.  TERMCAP
                     17:      may contain either the entire termcap entry, or the  full  pathname
                     18:      of the termcap file to search through.  
                     19: 
                     20: 
                     21:    E11.2  TMP, TEMPF
                     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:

                     29:    E11.3  EXINITF
                     30: 
                     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:

                     36:    E11.4  SHELL, COMSPECF
                     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.  
                     41: 
                     42: 
                     43:    E11.5  HOMEF
                     44: 
                     45:         This  variable  should  give  the  full  pathname  of  your home
                     46:      directory.  Elvis needs to know the name of your home directory  so
                     47:      it can locate the ".exrc" file there.
