I found part of the problem, I was using "set LFN=n" instead of "LFN=n".
I expected set with no arguments to show these variable values, but it
doesn't.  However, "echo $LFN" does show the value I expect.  Another
example, I did:

PS1=$HISTCMD\$

and it does what I expect.  However set shows:

PS1=bash\$

Also gcc can't find the standard include files, even though I've done:

DJGPP=c:/djgpp_v2.01/djgpp.env

Any help would be appreciated.
