Error on startup when %%WIN_VDOS%% used in Autoexec.txt

[Jos]

WIN_VDOS is a DOS environment variable.
%%WIN_VDOS%% should actually return an empty string. Not sure why DOS WIN_VDOS is returned instead.
Will be some mishap with (incorrect) testing for WIN_VDOS and in place substitution…

You would have to do:
echo %WIN_VDOS%
or
Ease %WIN_VDOS%

Thanks Jos

I think I solved the problem.

It looks to work ok if I have a single %, rather than 2

Eg:
echo %WIN_VDOS% works
but
echo %%WIN_VDOS%% crashes Autoexec.txt if >10 characters
