  Well, among other things, it says ...

" Each string is in the form:

name=value

Because the equal sign is used as a separator, it must not be used in the
name of an environment variable."

... and then a little later on it also says ...

" For example, there is an environment variable named =C: whose value is the
current directory on drive C. An application must manually pass the current
directory information to the new process. To do so, the application must
explicitly create these environment variable strings, sort them
alphabetically (because the system uses a sorted environment), and put them
into the environment block. "

  Sheesh.  Those wild and crazy microsoft guys huh?  Gotta love 'em.

    cheers,
