problem adding to environmental variables

[scott]

Hi,

Im trying to get "mode com1:9600,n,1" to apply at machine start up using the
Environmental Variables. It looks straight forward but it aint working.

1. i enter the name "printer"
2. i enter the variable"mode com1:9600,n,8,1"
3. restart the machine
4. launch command prompt and enter "mode" but setting for com1 still at
default.

Can someone please explain where im going wrong ?

Thanks for any help
Scott.

I have tried the following:


NAME....................................VARIABLE

printer mode com1:9600,n,8,1
mode com1:9600,n,8,1
mode com1 :9600,n,8,1
mode com1: 9600,n,8,1
mode com1:9600,n,8,1

ahhhhhhhh - this is annoying.

Thanks for any info.
Scott.
