That would certainly work, but I don't recommend setting HOME to point to
c:\djgpp\bin. Many programs, especially ports of GNU software, look at
HOME and honor its value. Unless one wants, e.g., to keep their Emacs,
GDB, Bash, etc. initialization files in the `bin' directory, setting HOME
there would be a bad idea, very much like making /usr/local/bin your home
directory on Unix.

Yes, either that, or set INFOKEY to point to c:\djgpp\bin\_info.
