                            Purpose

Gets the content of Netware bindery properties into DOS environment 
variables. Should only be used with string properties (names etc.).


                            Syntax

GETPROP options objectname propertyname[(ix)] [var]
GETPROP options [servername/]objectname:propertyname[(ix)] [var]
GETPROP options [servername/]objectname !OI [var]
GETPROP options [servername/]objectname !ON [var]

Options
/Q    Quiet mode. Nothing will be displayed.

/O:x  Object type. Both object type numbers and abbreviations can
      be used for the x parameter. See below for the possible values. 
      If no object type is given, user type is assumed.

servername   if the object is on another server than the current one 
             the server parameter can be used to select the server.

objectname   is the name of the object owning the property. 
             A - refers to the currently logged in object.
             Instead of the object name you can use the object ID in
             hex notation preceding it with \x, ie. \x68000003

propertyName is the name of the property to be read
             A number ix inside () after the propertyname indicates that 
             the property is a string array. ix is the number of the 
             string referred to. A string array can consist of up to 20 
             strings with a total length of 980 bytes (including zero's).
             !ON as propertyname tells SetProperty to read the objects 
             name to an environment variable.
             !OI as propertyname tells SetProperty to read the objects 
             ID to an environment variable.

The value of the property will be written to an environment variable 
with the same name as the propertyname (or OID or ONAME) or to a
variable with the name var if this parameter is given.

The different object types are :
  No Abbreviation  Description
   1 us            User
   2 ug            User group
   3 pq            Print queue
   5 js            Job Server
   6 gw            Gateway
   7 ps            Print server
   8 aq            Archive queue
   9 as            Archive server
