One way I have accessed the USER ID is to have the autoexec.bat file
pass the station ID to the Clipper EXEcutable file.  

This is what your main.prg file would look like before compiling:

	Parameters  user_id
	clear
	if type("user_id") = "U"
		user_id = "Un-Known"
	endif
	@ 10,10 say "Welcome " + user_id
	quit
	
The autoexec.bat would look something like this:

path c:\;c:\dos
split			; set DOS error level to the station ID
if errorlevel 1 goto serv1
if errorlevel 2 goto serv2
	:
	:
if errorlevel x goto servx
:serv1
main TERM1
goto exit
:serv2
main TERM2
goto exit
	.
	.
	.
:exit
