ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES USED BY MARXMENU

MarxMenu uses a variety of environment variables to control various MarxMenu functions. Many of these variables are optional.


 Set MouseX=(Number)

Sets the horizontal sensitivity of the mouse. Default is 15.


 Set MouseY=(Number)

Sets the vertical sensitivity of the mouse. Default is 25.


 Set MxEcho=(On/Off)

If you set the first line of MARX.BAT to @ECHO %MXECHO% then by setting the environment variable MxEcho to ON or OFF, you can control the echo in the MARX.BAT file without having to edit it. This allows you to do diagnostics on a network without messing up other users.


 Set Temp=(Directory)

Normally, MarxMenu creates temporary batch files in the same directory as MARXMENU.EXE. If you set TEMP to a directory, MarxMenu will use this directory instead. This complies with Windows / DOS 5.0 standards.


 Set MxCmd=(Command)

MarxMenu uses MXCMD to control what the MARX.BAT file executes. You must have enough environment space available for MarxMenu to use.


 Set KSV=

MarxMenu stores a series of keystrokes in the KSV variable when SavePosition is On.


 Set STATION=(Number)

If you are on a network that is not Novell, then you should set this variable to a unique number for each station between 0 and 255.


 Set TASK=(Number)

If you are running a multi-tasking operating system other than DesqView, and MarxMenu is running more than one task, then set an environment variable TASK to a unique number for each task.

MarxMenu also accesses your COMSPEC variable and your PATH variable when executing programs.
