another option is using Shell Xtra. On windows you can use it like:
tPath = shell_cmd("echo %ProgramFiles%", EMPTY)
tPath = shell_cmd("echo %SystemRoot%", EMPTY)
tPath = shell_cmd("echo %TMP%", EMPTY)
for a list of all available system-variables do a
put shell_cmd("SET", RETURN)
and here some code to put all available variables into a prop list:
vars = [:]
tmp = shell_cmd_list("SET")
the itemdelimiter = "="
cnt = tmp.count
repeat with i = 1 to cnt
vars[tmp[i].item[1]] = tmp[i].item[2]
end repeat
put vars

I think you can do this with Buddy API by supplying different IDs.

Smith.
