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.  Vari-
       ables are listed one per line and are of the form variable=value.

   .environ Variables
       Variables found in .environ include:

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

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