Lo marcus! Long time no speak!


Stefan:
Typing set at the command prompt will give you something like:

HOME=%USERPROFILE%
HOMEDRIVE=C:
HOMEPATH=\Documents and Settings\simon
USERDOMAIN=LAN
USERNAME=simon
USERPROFILE=C:\Documents and Settings\simon

If you're not using NT/2K/XP all bets are off. Win9x/ME don't have the
concept
of $HOME

However, YMMV.


Right 3am, time for bed :-)
