[Scilab-Dev] PATCH for set/get environment variables

[Yung-Jang Lee]

>
> I will install tomorrow scilab (nightly) with your modification about getenv & setenv and I will check your test.

Remember that for Chinese Windows, you can only test chinese characters,

-----------------------------------
specialName='中文' ;     //  for CP950, BIG5,zh_TW, zh_TW.utf-8, zh_CN,zh_CN.utf-8
setenv('env',specialName);
if getenv('env') <> specialName then pause, end
------------------------------------


The following strings are not allowable  for Chinese Windows

specialName='ЁЂЄЉф';  // russian LANG=ru_RU, ru_RU.utf-8
specialName='グゲゾタ'; // Japaness LANG=ja_JP ,
specialName='메일링을';  //  korean LANG=ko_KR, ko_KR=utf-8
specialName='æøå';    // LANG=fr_FR





> I have a problem with menus. Some menus of the main console are grayed.
> But graphics menus are enabled.
>

It look like the same situation  as I reported before ("Startup
execution:" and " loading initial environment" messages missing)
