The article "A Shortcut Between Directories" by Ken Hipple in the June 1988
issue of PCResource magazine has a perfect example of how to locate the
master copy of the environment.  Unfortunately, this method (of searching
the memory control blocks) does not seem to find the environment in DOS
version 4.x.  Does anyone know of a method to locate the environment that
does not depend on the DOS version?  I suppose DOS 3.x and above would be
more than sufficient for most people.
