   SOLUTION: I didn't think it was going to make a difference, but I
decided to see if it'd work if I set the variables in the autoexec, and it
did! Not a very elegant solution, but....
   If I create them all in the autoexec, with strings at least as long as
what their new values are going to be, then the batch file will work.
Since the autoexec is just a batch file itself, I don't know why this
would make a difference, but for some reason I am limited in the number of
environment variables I can create fresh in another batch file.

   Now to turn my attention to my "system calls from a Pascal program"
issue. :-)
