I think I managed to get a reply to the original poster but if not, he should
be able to see this.  In Turbo 5.0, there is a function that will give you
an environment variable.  The function is GETENV, you pass it the name of the
variable you want.  For the path variable, the call would look something like
this:
      pathstring := GETENV('PATH');
If there is not a path define, a null string will be returned.
