The debugger user interface running on the workstation uses certain environment variables to determine where it looks for source files, executables, online help, and so on. See the Related Topics below for help on the environment variables themselves.

To set an environment variable for a given
session of the debugger, do the following on your OS/2 or Windows workstation:
SET VARNAME=VAL1;VAL2;VAL3
where VARNAME is the name of the environment variable, and VAL1, VAL2, and VAL3 are values assigned to it (normally multiple values for a variable are separated by semicolons).
If you want to add more values to an existing variable, use the following syntax:
SET VARNAME=%VARNAME%;VAL4;VAL5
This adds both the existing contents of VARNAME and the new values to the variable.
If you want to set these environment variables permanently, do the following, depending on the operating system you are using:
From Control Panel
select System, then within the System
notebook choose the Environment tab. Select the
variable you want to change from the list, or enter a new
variable name in the Variable entry field, and
enter its values in the Value entry field. Click
on OK or Apply to save the
changed or new variable.
Add the SET...
commands to your CONFIG.SYS file. A reboot is required for these
changes to take effect.
