   The message you were replying to was about using symlinks in Linux, though   
   sbbsctrl is for Windows..?  But either way, you shouldn't have to set   
   environment variables every time you start sbbsctrl.  In Windows, you can go   
   to the system configuration and go to the environment variables from there and   
   add any environment variables you want to be set permanently.  Once you close   
   out of those dialogs, the new environment variables will go into effect.   
      
   In Linux, at least for anything running under Bash, you can set environment   
   variables in your .bashrc file and/or .bash_profile .
