-Several aspects of RMR behaviour is controlled via environment variables which are
-set at the time that a user application invokes the RMR initialisation function.
-This allows these variables to be set before the application is started as a
-function of the true environment, or set by the application as a means for the
-application to influence RMR's behaviour.
-The following is a list of RMR variables which RMR recognises (see the main
-RMR manual page in the development package for more details).
