	ENVTRIM trims from the left or right to a specified  count of
characters the value associated with environment variable and re-stores
that variable and value to the environment area.  One or more environment
variables can be truncated in a single  invocation of ENVTRIM.  The
environment variables in the PARENT process are  modified.

	This capability is useful, for example, for truncating full
Novell Netware  username strings to 3-character strings used by
network-aware programs such  as WordPerfect.
