ESET - Edit environment variables and aliases

 
 Purpose:    Edit environment variables and aliases. 
             
 Format:     ESET [/A] variable name ... 
             
             variable name :  The name of an environment variable or alias 
             to edit. 
             
             /A(lias) 
 
 See also:  ALIAS, UNALIAS, SET, and UNSET. 
 Usage 
 ESET allows you to edit environment variables and aliases using line 
 editing commands (see Command-Line Editing). 
 For example, to edit the executable file search path: 

 
         [c:\] eset path
         path=c:\;c:\dos;c:\util
 
 
 To create and then edit an alias: 

 
         [c:\] alias d = dir /d/j/p
         [c:\] eset d
         d=dir /d/j/p
 
 
 ESET will search for environment variables first and then aliases. If you 
 have an environment variable and an alias with the same name, ESET will 
 edit the environment variable and ignore the alias unless you use the /A 
 option. 
 Environment variable and alias names are normally limited to 80 
 characters.  Their values are normally limited to 1,023 characters. 
  However, if you use special techniques to create a longer environment 
 variable, ESET will edit it provided the variable contains no more than 
 2,047 characters of text. 
 If you have enabled global aliases (see ALIAS), any changes made to an 
 alias with ESET will immediately affect all other copies of CMD.EXE which 
 are using the same alias list. 
 Options 
    /A:     (Alias) Edit the named alias even if an environment variable 
            of the same name exists.  If you have an alias and an 
            environment variable with the same name, you must use this 
            switch to be able to edit the alias.
