Under Win98, there are some subtle differences in the output of the program
below, when run from a DOS window  vs.  double-clicking the icon.
I don't know if this will work for NT-based OS, though....

{=====================}
program envtest;
uses Dos;
var
  F:text;
  i:LongInt;
begin
  assign(F, 'envlist.txt');  
  rewrite(F);
  for i:=0 to EnvCount-1 do WriteLn(F, EnvStr(i));
  close(F);
end.
