Which envirvars are case censitive??

I create enviroment for child command.com with 'prompt=$p$g',0
This was no effect.
The effect was after convertion to upper case: 'PROMPT=$p$g',0

Either case, or mixed case, works for me under Windows 2000 and Windows 98SE. Environment variables were not case sensitive under MS-DOS, and I thought Windows continued this convention.

I was agree with you until yesterday. This BUG with prompt var was found under Windows 95.
Set command always converts to upper case.
