View Ref-FileEnvironmental variables - General                                     Thing

Thing does not set 'global' environmental variables itself but does 
evaluate existing entries. Under Single-TOS, MagiC (>=v3.0) and MultiTOS 
it is possible to set up 'local' environments for installed applications. 
On starting a program the Thing local variables, which the user can 
define, are added to any other variables.

The following pages describe the variables evaluated when Thing is 
started for the first time. For details on setting up these variables 
refer to the installation instructions.
