value from the last program it executed.  There are times when it would be
handy to be able to interrogate that number from the command line.  Does
anyone know a way to do this?   The location of the variable?

       Obviously a short shell could be written in c to execute it and
print the value, but it seems as though it the ERRORLEVEL variable must
be present somewhere in memory.
