SYMPTOMS
========
When you set an environment variable in the Autoexec.bat file and then use it to
run a program, MemMaker converts the environment variable to its true name.
For example, if your Autoexec.bat file contains these lines before you run
MemMaker:
set xdrive=d
%xdrive%:\dos\doskey
they are converted to:
set xdrive=d
lh /l:xxxx d:\dos\doskey
WORKAROUND
==========
To work around this issue, either do not set environment variables to drive
letters or directories, or modify your Config.sys and Autoexec.bat files after
you run MemMaker.
