Hi,

The only environment variable that I set is HOME, in the PyDS startup
script(Windows batch file):

<snip>
@set HOME=C:\Program Files\PyDS
</snip>

The actual value is determined at installation time by the user; the above
snippet is the default and is required because Windows, unlike unix, does
not have an environment variable called HOME. ".PyDS" is created below HOME
and that is where all the scripts, user manual, and PyDS data are located as
well.

>>USERPROFILE as the variable where to store the .Toolserver directory.

I am not familiar with any of the above variables. What is their Purpose?
Also, what is the ".Toolserver directory"?
