I have a problem using the CLI with PEAR in a WAMP environment, I have tried different ways of getting pear to run in CLI but it doesn't want to go, I even have tried making a pear.bat file that points to the pear.bat file, using "%1 %2 %3" to capture extra info...

I want to know what does the file called PEAR_ENV.reg do?

It is mentioned in many places (forums, blogs etc) to set your environment variables so that you can use pear from CLI.
