 envar [-on | -off]
 "Environment variable processing for cv and ce commands"
 
 DESCRIPTION:
     'envar'  is  used  to  determine  whether  environment  variables  are
     expanded  in  file  names  when executing cv and ce  commands  in  the
     "Command:"  window.   When  set  to yes, clicking on a  name  such  as
     $HOME/.profile  will  expand $HOME.  When set to no, dollar signs  are
     ignored. This allows clicking on names which contain dollar signs.

     Dollar variable processing is an issue in 4 places:

     1.  Initial file evaluation from the shell.
         Variables are evaluated by the shell.  Normal escaping and quoting
         will prevent evaluation of environment variables.

     2.  Processing  file names from cv commands executed in the "Command:"
         window.   The  current envar setting determines whether names  are
         scanned for environment variables.  With dollar evaluation on, you
         can still escape characters.

     3.  Command file name evaluation:  cmdf $HOME/dm_cmds/stuff.dm
         Environment variables will always be expanded in the path names of
         cmdf  commands.   The  dollar  sign  may  be  escaped  to  prevent
         expansion.

     4.  Paste  buffer  names  used  with  xc -f and xp  -f  as  in  xc  -f
         $HOME/saved_stuff Environment variables will always be expanded in
         the  path  names  of xc and xp commands.  The dollar sign  may  be
         escaped to prevent expansion.
       
     
     The -envar {y | n} parameter to cv and the Ce:envar : {y : n} resource
     may  be used to control the initial setting of envvar.  if 'envar'  is
     given  with no options, the setting is toggled.  'envar -on' turns  on
     evaluation of environment variables. 'envar -off' turns it off.
