$ Hi!
$ This is for Clipper programmers.  How do you access DOS variable from
$ Clipper application?
$ 
$ I am writing a network application that need to know the user name for
$ certain operations.  What I am trying to do is use DOS SET command to 
$ SET USER=SUNIL from NetWare login script and then read USER variable from
$ Clipper to do some operations.
$ 
Have you tried the Clipper function GETE().  It seems to do what you want
to do.  See page 6-96 of Clipper manual.
