Environment variables

This section describes several environment variables that affect how hsc operates.
HSCPATH
This variable specifies the directory where hsc.prefs (see also: Syntax definition) is located.
Example: After a
    setenv HSCPATH work:hsc
hsc will look for work:hsc/hsc.prefs.
HSCSALARY

Within several messages, hsc refers to the user as a ``jerk´´. This happens if you are using features which are only supported by some special browsers. Some people say they are forced by their employee to use those features, and therefor feel insulted by hsc.

As a solution, you can store the amount of your monthly payment in this variable:
    setenv HSCSALARY 1000
After this, hsc will stop calling you a ``jerk´´. Instead, it will now use the term ``prostitute´´.
