</div>Hi,<br>
<br>
Yes I tried to set the same variable on my machine but does not work<br>
here neither (Linux). Perhaps this only works for platforms where this<br>
variable is traditionally non-empty?<br>
<br>
As also Michael pointed out, this would not really be a solution for<br>
non-developers of a software for sure (and I now see Chandan said it was<br>
a question regarding usage).<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Yngve<br>
