I would like to use the GetEnvironmentVariable from the WINAPI.u32. However,
I need to specify a string buffer location in which the function will place
the result. I tried putting a string variable in but it does not give me any
value. The function is working because it returns a value of 7 for the
length of the string but no string.

Is there something I must do to specify or get a strring buffer?
