These are not built-in; on the contrary, they are environment
variables. You can set any environment variable on starting Vim and
test it in any script, e.g. in your vimrc; but there are a few that
Vim will test or set as part of its normal behaviour. In addition to
those you mentioned, off the top of my head I can add $VIMRUNTIME,
which normally should not be set by the user but by Vim itself, and
$MYVIMRC and $MYGVIMRC, which are set to the vimrc and (if any) the
gvimrc that were used.

To find all these environment variables in the help, try the following:

:helpgrep \$\u\+\>

i.e. grep the help for a dollar sign, followed by one or more capital
letters (as many as possible), followed by an end-of-word.

This will give you (as a quickfix list) all occurrences of an
environment variable name in the help, including duplicates. I just
tried it, and Vim tells me that there are 351 such places, but
remember, each of them is counted as many times as it is mentioned in
the help.


Best regards,
Tony.
