Re: environment setup problem with "env -"

FWIW, here's what I get on my machine:

USERDOMAIN=PECHTCHA
USERNAME=igor
USERPROFILE=C:\Documents and Settings\igor

The one that caused me grief was USERPROFILE. It caused trouble
because of a 3rd party tool that did not expect any spaces in
its value. I was a little surprised at first because I am using
env for strict control of the environment.
If they have to stay because Microsoft says so, I guess I'll have
to work around this some other way.
