DESCRIPTION
The .environ, .pref, and .variables files contain variables that indi‐
cate user preferences for a variety of operations. The .environ and
.variables files are located under the user's $HOME/pref directory. The
.pref files are found under $HOME/FILECABINET, $HOME/WASTEBASKET, and
any directory where preferences were set via the organize command.
Names and descriptions for each variable are presented below. Vari‐
ables are listed one per line and are of the form variable=value.
