Enrique, write two shell scripts in this model:

  :
  # set environment to operate filePro in environment xxxxx
  export PFPROG ; PFPROG=
  export PFDIR  ; PFDIR=
  export PFDATA ; PFDATA=
  export PFDSK  ; PFDSK=
  export PFVER  ; PFVER=
  export PFMENU ; PFMENU=
  export PATH   ; PATH=
  export CDPATH ; CDPATH=
  echo "\nUsing: FilePro Set for $0.
        \nCurrent Directory is:  `pwd`\n"

The first three variables are mandatory - eliminate any of the
pthers that you don't need.

Put the scripts in a directory in your PATH, then execute one or
the other of them with the "dot" command - ie:

  . filename

The "dot" command executes the lines of the script in your current
environment, so this is an easy way to switch between various
versions of filePro or various "filepro" directories.
