These are the GoldED specific environment variables:

 GOLDED         Path to the GOLDED.CFG file. It is recommended to set
                this variable, but don't forget to change it if you move
                your GoldED  setup to a different directory!

 GEDCMD         Specifies additional commandline options. Use this if
                you want to specify options, but need to run GoldED without
                them (for example  when renaming GOLDED.EXE to DBEDIT.EXE
                in older versions of D'Bridge). You can override the
                environment options with commandline options.

 GOLDNODE       The path where GoldNODE can find a GOLDED.CFG to use.

       When  the   using  AREAFILE   feature  to   read  external   area
       configuration from other programs, the individual AREAFILE's  may
       use specific environment variables to find the files. Please read
       the  Area  Configuration  chapter  for  specific  details of each
       supported AREAFILE.
