5  Variables Used at System Startup Time
----------------------------------------

        Directory containing the  user's personal initialisation  files.
        These are  loaded  when  Poplog  starts  up,  by  the  procedure
        sysinitcomp. See REF * SYSTEM. Set to the user's home  directory
        (if not already set).

        Common Lisp and Prolog). Set to $usepop/pop/lib/psv


popcomppath                                       [environment_variable]
        The set of directories searched when Poplog is invoked with  the
        name of a file to compile as argument. See REF * SYSTEM. Set  to
        ':$poplib:$poplocalauto:$popautolib:$popliblib'


popsavepath                                       [environment_variable]
        The set of directories searched when Poplog is invoked with  the
        name of a saved image to restore as argument. See  REF * SYSTEM
        Set to ':$poplib:$poplocalbin:$popsavelib'




---------------------------------------------------
6  Symbol Table Used by the External Load Mechanism
---------------------------------------------------

popexlinkbase                                     [environment_variable]
        Specifies the symbol table  used by exload. See  REF * EXTERNAL
        Set to $popsys/basepop11.stb




------------------------------
7  pop_X Environment Variables
------------------------------

Various environment variables with names of the form "pop_X" are defined
in the file $popsys/popenv, which is  created when the Poplog system  is
installed using the command  $popsrc/newpop. See HELP * NEWPOP for  more
details.
