When the editor starts, the following environment variables are created by the editor:
• VSDRIVE - Drive letter followed by a colon ( : ) where editor executable resides.
• VSDIR - Directory of editor executable with a trailing backslash (UNIX: slash).
Environment variables can be embedded in any line within a section by placing % characters around the
environment variable.
