1. In MS-DOS, all variables are defined by (replaceable) shell, not by OS
itself.
2. To declare variable, which points somewhere, OS/shell should know where
this "somewhere" resides. Unless you explicitly specify this placement,
OS/shell will NOT know this information. But how this "specify" will
differ from non-OS, manual set in some batch file (autoexec.bat or some
other)?

What happen, if user installs FreeDOS into other directory? BTW, in
Win9x, paths are specified in the MSDOS.SYS.
