in contrast, the arguments will +be taken exactly as given (except \(oqyes\(cq and \(oqno\(cq which can be written with +uppercase or lowercase letters). +Each keyword has one argument which must be separated by whitespace (blanks +or tabs) from the keyword and must be on the same line. +Each line must not be longer than 256 characters. +.PP +You can use environment variables in the configuration file. +The escape character starting an environment variable in the configuration +file is always \(oq\c +.C $ \(cq, +even for operating systems like DOS which has other conventions. +.B hbf2gf +recognizes only environment variable names which start with a letter or an +underscore, followed by alphanumeric characters or underscores. +You can surround the variable with braces to indicate where the variable +name ends, for example +.C ${FOO} . +To get a dollar sign you must write \(oq\c +.C $$ \(cq. +The expansion of environment variables in hbf2gf itself (without the help of +either kpathsea, emtexdir, or MiKTeX searching routines) is very limited;
