View Ref-FileThe environment

TosWin2 sets an environment for each subsequently started program.
A copy of the current AES environment is created when the
program is started via the menu or when a shell is started. The AES
environment is used because it can change in real time. When starting
tw-call, the passed environment is used.

TosWin2 always uses those three additional variables:

   ∙ TERM can be "tw52" or "tw100", depending of the emulation used.

   ∙ LINES,
     COLUMNS represent the current window size.

Additionaly, two more variables are set for the shell:

   ∙ HOME is the HOME directory from /etc/passwd

   ∙ SHELL is the login shell from /etc/passwd

If the number of arguments passed when tw-call starts requires it,
TosWin2 uses the ARGV protocol.
