I don't understand PYTHONHOME either. ;-)  That is, I never tried to 
use it.

Running 'python -?' yields:

[...]
PYTHONHOME   : alternate <prefix> directory (or 
<prefix>;<exec_prefix>). The default module search path uses 
<prefix>/python1.5.

Maybe this makes more sense in a Unix environment? I can imagine Unix 
directories called usr/lib/python1.5 or something, but in DOS, this 
is quite uncommon. 

Does anyone use this under DOS?
