[Bug 12316] New: Environment Variable sections in Wine user guide is incorrect

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12316

           Summary: Environment Variable sections in Wine user guide is
                    incorrect
           Product: WineHQ.org
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
               URL: http://www.winehq.org/site/docs/wineusr-
                    guide/environment-variables
        OS/Version: other
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: www-unknown
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org
        ReportedBy: joe(a)neoturbine.net


This bug is just for a documentation fix.

http://www.winehq.org/site/docs/wineusr-guide/environment-variables says that
strings under the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Environment are used to modify certain
environment variables. With wine 0.9.58 this does nothing.

The correct location is documented at http://wiki.winehq.org/UsefulRegistryKeys
and is HKLM/System/CurrentControlSet/Control/Session Manager/Environment

Also, unlike what the first part of
http://www.winehq.org/site/docs/wineusr-guide/environment-variables says,
normal shell variables do not seem to appear in wine, i.e.,
$   export MYENVIRONMENTVAR=myenvironmentvarsetting
$ wine cmd
CMD Version 0.9.58

H:\>MYENVIRONMENTVAR
File not found

It doesn't work that way. Use

$ export MYENVIRONMENTVAR=myenvironmentvarsetting 
$ wine cmd
Z:\home\austin>echo %MYENVIRONMENTVAR%
myenvironmentvarsetting
