(2) why would mtxrun set the variables and risk overwriting something? The comments suggest it is for the benefit of the cnf files, but still --- why overwrite? ossetenv("HOME", homedir) -- can be used in unix cnf files ossetenv("USERPROFILE",homedir) -- can be used in windows cnf files
it just sets them local (for this run + subruns) they are set just in case one has cross platform scripts (like me)
