Fellow Turbo Pascal Users:
I have a little problem that I need your expertise.
I writing a program and I need to be able to read in the system environment
variable PATH. Does anyone know how to do this? (Similar to the getenv
command in C, is what I'm looking for.)
Thanks in advance for your reply. Please, reply even if you have a hint on
how to get this to work (even if its in assembly!)
Note, I am using Turbo Pascal 4.0 (haven't got 5.0 yet).

Get TP5.0!
It includes GetEnv, EnvStr, and EnvCount. What you'd do is:
path := GetEnv('path'); {or 'PATH'}
to get the path...
