Someday I'll learn to check my facts before I open my mouth an insert
my foot. :-(

They're getenv() and putenv() in CGFX7.  I've never actually used the
original cgfx. ;-)  I just assumed they were in the stock one.

I've used getenv().  The docs say putenv() writes back to the file,
but I haven't tried it.

A cheer for Mike Sweet, who added all the stuff that should have been
in CGFX in the first place!
