The standard distribution is supposed to work without setting any
paths, and I'm not sure why it doesn't work that way for you.
Perhaps you can check
   Environments > Edit List ... > StdEnv > Edit > Paths
There's should be one path {Application}:Libraries:StdEnv 2.0.
If you check Show Full Names, this should then expand to the full
path of the StdEnv directory in your unpacked Clean distribution.

Perhaps something went wrong when you unpacked the distribution,
or perhaps there's a bug in the handling of paths. In any case
please send a message to clean@cs.kun.nl with more information
(how did you install Clean, Windows version).

We'll look into this. Thanks for the feedback.

I remember somebody doing something with COM. I think Peter Achten
can give more details (after the holidays).
