DESCRIPTION

     The .environ, .pref, and .variables files contain  variables
     that  indicate user preferences for a variety of operations.
     The .environ and .variables  files  are  located  under  the
     user's $HOME/pref directory. The .pref files are found under
     $HOME/FILECABINET,  $HOME/WASTEBASKET,  and  any   directory
     where  preferences  were set via the organize command. Names
     and descriptions for  each  variable  are  presented  below.
     Variables  are  listed  one  per  line  and  are of the form
     variable=value.

     Variables found in .environ include:
