Overview

Environment variable in this context means a variable created within the ThereClient environment, not that of the Microsoft® Windows operating system[1]. Typecast as Integer, Double or String, environment variables control various parameters of ThereClient. Variables can be assigned a value in one of three ways:

1. manually or programmatically entered via the environment variable editor
2. loaded from the envtestfile.txt configuration file
3. assigned by ThereClient itself

Many environment variables are instantiated with a null value at the start of ThereClient. Most environment variables retain an assigned value for the duration of the session, but a few change values over the course of the session. Environment variables can be re-cast as a different type by using the "Override the type?" option in the environment variable editor. New variables may be loaded or instantiated "on-the-fly", though their usefulness is limited to third party applications. All regular variables and their values will return to their defaults, and new variables will be lost with the next run of ThereClient unless explicitly defined in the envtestfile.txt file. Speculation: environment variables are Lua[2] variables.
