GetEnv(V1.3, 2.x, 3.x)
NAME
GetEnv - display value of environment variable.
SYNOPSIS
GetEnv Name
DESCRIPTION
GetEnv displays the values of Environment variables.
These variables are accessible to all tasks (unlike GET
which is only accessible to the environment which created
it).
GetEnv searches both the older Environment variables
and the new ENV: handler if it exists. (Note that ENV:
is currently just a directory in RAM:, it is not a true
handler).
GetEnv prints the contents of this file.
KEYWORDS
varname
The name of the environmental variable to get. This
is the name of the file that is found in the ENV:
direrectory located in RAM:.
Kickstart/Workbench
2.x/3.x Only:
These are created during startup. They contain the
version of your Kickstart and Workbench that is currently
being used by your system.
Editor
2.x/3.x Only:
Some Workbench programs such as MORE are able to
recognize the environmental variables. If you set this
variable to the pathname of your favorite text editor,
then MORE allows you to bring up the program to edit the
current file by pressing Shift-E.
