[ROOT] incorrect .rootrc in distributions

Hi,
the .rootrc files distributed since several versions of root have a bug
concerning NT environment variables. Where it says:

WinNT.*.Root.DynamicPath:   ./;$(ROOTSYS);$(ROOTSYS)/bin;$(PATH)
WinNT.*.Root.MacroPath:     ./;$(ROOTSYS)/macros

it should say:

WinNT.*.Root.DynamicPath:   ./;%ROOTSYS%;%ROOTSYS%/bin;$(PATH)
WinNT.*.Root.MacroPath:     ./;%ROOTSYS%/macros

because windows evaluates environment variables via %VARIBABLE_NAME% and not
via $(VARIBALE_NAME).

cheers Armin

Hi Christian,
You can increase the pad left margin (default 10 per cent to 15 per cent)
with
 gPad->SetLeftMargin(0.15);

The SetLeftMargin is a function of TAttPad
