+This specifies the current time zone and possibly also daylight
+savings information.  On MS-DOS, if @code{TZ} is not set in the
+environment when Emacs starts, Emacs defines a default value as
+appropriate for the country code returned by DOS.  MS Windows
+does not use @code{TZ} at all.
 @item USER
 The user's login name.  See also @env{LOGNAME}.  On MS-DOS, this
 defaults to @samp{root}.
