Hi! mark,

Nah. I was thinking of a two-liner, still involving daynbr (which I don't use
here) and a tool I use called NSET. NSET could pick up the output from daynbr
and spew it into a %temp%\temptemp.bat file. That's one line. The second
simply runs the %temp%\temptemp.bat to SET the %envar%. It's a technical
solution found long ago in BATPOWER. I use it here.
However, the environmental constraints that Dallas is hinting at has me
confused.
