Not sure you will find instruction there, but utilities are available.

Nope. I didn't know you could view my site that way. Now you force
me to clean it up. No big deal, but please only use this link, PCR.

Unless you want to see my dog, Maggie. ;-)
Go there and then click on MSDOS7 to get to
http://home7.inet.tele.dk/batfiles/msdos7/
That used to be Bob Watson's site and is fairly complete.
From a prompt type-
SET MYVAR=MyValue
Then use the syntax %MYVAR% to expand the variable. E.g.
echo %MYVAR%
To clear it-
SET MYVAR=
To view-
SET
To make it "global" to the Win environment, put the command in
c:\autoexec.bat or use winset.exe.

Yes, you can go back to any "/" in (any?) address. Very well
http://home.earthlink.net/~bblanton2...efrag/main.htm
it is, but that is only for Scandisk threads, then. I clicked a few
things at the parent URL, but took none of it. Was Maggie there, & I
could o' been bit?

That's odd. It looks like you've already answered my post, but I do not
see that response in this thread. I can get it by clicking your News
link to it.
http://home.earthlink.net/~bblanton2/maggie.jpg
So, this is Maggie, mouth open & ready to bite.
Let me see...
http://home.earthlink.net/~bblanton2/
Yea. It now redirects to the Scandisk/Defrag page. I wonder now what I
might have got when I was at the parent. Let's see what's in my TIFs...
Oh, it still redirected me offline, (of course)! Anyway, I could only
have had the directory.
