In my Emacs, under debian, M-x setenv certainly seems to affect the "Emacs environment" that the user sees. In particular, doing (setenv "foo" ...) allows $foo to be used when visiting files (i.e. substitute-in-file-name sees it), and doing (setenv "HOME" ...) changes how expand-file-name expands a tilde. If this doesn't happen in windows, it seems like a bug... -Miles -- ((lambda (x) (list x x)) (lambda (x) (list x x)))
