set HOMEDRIVE=C:
set HOMEDRIVE=\TEMP\MT
This goes a liddle bit better for Windos 98. Now have the next problem.

set EDITOR=notepad
monotone --db=test98.db --branch="test98" commit

This open a editor with empty new file. I see a message box with 
mistaken slash in filename: "C:\WINDOWS\TEMP/mt.EORZYT". No files "mt.*" 
exist on my drive.
Where do you put the logfile under Windows. (I know this from Linux.)

This line works:
monotone --db=test98.db --branch="test98" commit "my comment for log"
