In envi_cmd func.
printf("%.8s=%.60s\n",VAR[i],ENVI[i]);

Because if displays all of string,some string is too long,It looks chaotic.

If the user has defined short strings then there is no problem.
If the user has defined long strings then that is because he needs and uses 
long string!
If the set command looks chaotic then that is not important as long as the 
strings are displayed correctly. Maybe a maximum of 150 characters (two lines) 
would be a good compromise?
I have some strings which are headings and these can be up to 80 characters 
long, this is quite common.  60 is not even a full line width (max will be 69 
with variable= string)!
Please can it be changed to 150?
