Customizing the User Environment

COMSPEC command to the container login script.

• If more than one version of DOS is available on your network, a network

scripts.

• To use an environment variable as the value in a COMSPEC command, precede

it with the percent sign (%), as follows:

COMSPEC=%environment variable

CONTEXT context

Using CONTEXT

Replace context with the context you want the user to see after login.

Organization ACME_US, add the following line to the login script:

CONTEXT .SALES.ACME_US

want to move up one level.

For example, if you are in the context SALES.ACME_US and you want to

move up one level to the context ACME_US, add the following line to the
