Hi!
I wonder if anyone out there could tell me if there exists a system
(or Run Time Library) routine to get the DCL prompt string.

I know it can be accomplished in DCL as follows:

  $ prompt_string = F$Environment ("Prompt")

but I want to do it from inside a program (in my case, PASCAL).

Any suggestions?
