So,
1) How/where to set such variable under W2K?
2) is the current aproach really practical? Let's say some externall app
launches your rebol, so e.g. apache, so you inherit launcher app directory
and you have to specify e.g. c:/pekr/rebol/command/rebol.exe -cs
c:/pekr/rebol/command/my-script.r and you are left with following problems:
a) it will look for user.r file in launcher app directory
b) try to use View and -i switch - it will be ignored (which I reported
being a bug) and you will end up with installation screen. View needs two
additional files, or it will try install itself ...
c) what if you have more rebol exes scattered on your hd? Which of them
will you choose as REBOL_HOME?
