environment in Win32

[scriptico]

Hi!
I'm trying to set WinXP environment variables with Tcl.
I know that these variables are stored in the env structure and I know how to change this structure. But I don't know how to pass this structure back to Windows, so that these variables remain changed when I e.g. reboot.
Any suggestions?

I don't think you can using the env() structure. I'm not sure how XP supports DOS commands but I think you have to do something like [exec "set EVAL vaule"] Bob Rashkin

You can't change the external environment in this way
and expect it to have any effect on the environment
outside the scripts execution environment.

A possible workaround would be to use a script to
edit XP's equivalent to the old autoexec.bat and
config.sys files, or the old *.ini files.
Also if you are familiar enough with the registry, tcl
has the ability to modify the registry. Take a look at:

http://mini.net/tcl/1264.

You can introduce your env variables from there.
