One of the things I have run into is that under a Win32 environment the new
shell does *not* appear to inherit *any* of the environment settings at all.
....a very messy solution which involved using getenv() and ...

I think i remember fixing this by running the autoexec in the new dos shell,
then running my pascal program in it. If you can have Eu run the autoexec to
set vars in the new shell, but not start a new shell when you do that,
you'll solve the problem. Seems to me there are DOS command line switches
"start the shell running this app and do not go away", then have the
"special autoexec" call your Eu app.  But i don't remember if i was able to
ever make the new shell go away.

Kat,
working from old memories.
