That's what I expect as a user when doing "cd"'s and changing drive
letters at the command.com prompt.  I just verified that this is
what one sees from command.com in windows me:

C:\> cd d:vss
C:\> d:
D:\VSS>

So if win32 isn't doing it, command.com is simulating it?

How do you display those variables?  I have a C program that
iterates through envp[] and it doesn't see 'em.
