$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.

   From the Clipper Summer '87 manual, "Summary of Clipper Functions", page
6-8:

GETE(<expC>)
	Returns the contents of a DOS environment variable specified by
	<expC> as a character string.

   So, you'd just do something like

USERNAME = GETE ("USER")
DO CASE
CASE USER = "SUNIL"
