Is a missing SET command ... I often make the same mistake switching back
and forth between COMMAND.COM and a decent shell.

The correct statement is:

    SET DJGPP=D:/DJGPP/DJGPP.ENV

(hu... I don't remeber if "slash-direction" is important ...)

On the PATH= line, the SET command may be omitted, since COMMAND.COM
understands PATH as an alias to SET PATH.
