[except for those variables set BY Wine, such as PATH] :-) I'm not sure what others might be set.
Howdy, I am trying to run a Cobol Compiler through wine. I am running RH7.3 with a current wine release. My directory structure is /usr/share/wine-c/COBOL/. I have been successful in running other applications through wine, but not ones that require a PATH= entry. My problem is: it's looking for an entry in the PATH environment variable that includes 'C:\COBOL' which stores library files it looks for when starting the program. I r.t.f.m. and made entries into /etc/profile. That did not produce desirable results. (I was locked out of x-windows) From what I have read and what I see in /etc/profile, the colon is a special character. So my actual question is: How do I get 'C:\COBOL' to show up in the PATHenvironment variable so that the Cobol compiler will see the files it needs? Will entering 'C\COBOL' in the PATH= variable give me what I am looking for? If so, why is that? Does wine know to insert a colon between 'C' and '\COBOL' when "showing" it to the window application?

Well, that's what I thought. I was getting this info from the section "Setting Windows/DOS environment variables" of the Wine User Guide. It talked about export MYVARIABLE=myvariable or editing the /etc/profile. I see what you are saying. I think I went down the wrong path too early.
