     $HOME/FILECABINET,  $HOME/WASTEBASKET,  and  any   directory
     where  preferences  were set via the organize command. Names
     and descriptions for  each  variable  are  presented  below.
     Variables  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  ini-
                     tialized.

     SORTMODE        Sort mode for file folder  listings.  Values
                     include the following hexadecimal digits:

                     1        Sorted alphabetically by name.

                     2        Files most recently modified first.

                     800      Sorted  alphabetically  by   object

                     The values above may be  listed  in  reverse

                              example,  a value of 1002 will pro-
                              duce a folder  listing  with  files

                              first. A value of 1001  would  pro-
                              duce  a  "reverse"  alphabetical by
