NAME
      .environ, .pref, .variables - user-preference variable files for FACE

DESCRIPTION
      The .environ, .pref, and .variables files contain variables that indicate
      user preferences for a variety of operations.  The .environ and
      .variables files are located under the user's $HOME/pref directory.  The
      .pref files are found under $HOME/FILECABINET, $HOME/WASTEBASKET, and any
      directory where preferences were set via the organize command.  Names and
      descriptions for each variable are presented below.  Variables are listed
      one per line and are of the form variable=value.

      Variables found in .environ include:

      LOGINWIN[1-4]
                 Windows that are opened when FACE is initialized

      SORTMODE   Sort mode for file folder listings.  Values include the
                 following hexadecimal digits:

                 1     sorted alphabetically by name

                 2     files most recently modified first

                 800   sorted alphabetically by object type

                 The values above may be listed in reverse order by "ORing" the
                 following value:

                 1000  list objects in reverse order.  For example, a value of
                       1002 will produce a folder listing with files least
                       recently modified displayed first.  A value of 1001
                       would produce a "reverse" alphabetical by name listing
                       of the folder

      DISPLAYMODE
                 Display mode for file folders.  Values include the following
