for some purposes, calling the API may be overkill (for example, the default value for a SaveDialog1.InitialDir) compared to some of the system variables like %HOMEDRIVE% and %HOMEPATH%.

HomePath gets you one directory. What about all the rest, such as the Application Data folder, or the My Documents folder, or the Desktop?

And that particular directory seems like a pretty lousy place to offer to save files.

this site has a little table of such variables
http://www.wilsonmar.com/1envvars.htm

Of that list, WinDir is not set on my computer. I wonder how reliable that list is. Which other variables are not set on others' computers?
