shouldn't ArcaOS set this value anyway? eCS at least had it set IIRC. At least all my systems have it and I doubt I added them by hand.

REM [ Temporary Directories ]
SET TMP=C:\var\temp
SET TEMP=C:\var\temp
SET TMPDIR=C:\var\temp

Whether ArcaOS sets it or not is beside the point. Remember that ANPM will install the bootstrap on Warp 4 FP13, and that *surely* doesn't have it set. I really think that like setting TERM, this should be set in os2-base. Do you see any bad effects?

not a bad sideeffect, but only setting TMPDIR would be wrong. So we either set all 3, as all might be used, or none.

For many unix software only TMPDIR matters but we should definitely set all three (and keep them in sync) as TMP is used in some rare cases and OS/2 software of course uses TEMP.
