Use of the Root Directory Environment Variable
in a BT-BASIC Window
Table 2-1 illustrates new path equivalents using the
system config file in a BT-BASIC window.
NOTE
BT-BASIC usage is the same in both UNIX and
MS Windows.

btgetenv$ ("AGILENT3070_ROOT")
is only required for BT-BASIC commands which are referenced to the root.
If the BT-BASIC command msi btgetenv$ ("AGILENT3070_ROOT") & <command> is used prior to the next BT-BASIC command (for example
compile or faon), use of the environment variable to define the root path is unnecessary. BT-BASIC commands which normally contain paths (msi,
load, copy, save, get, store, unlink, rcall
) for example, will require:
btgetenv$ ("AGILENT3070_ROOT") & <rest of path>
