Hi Bret,<br>
<br>
I know you won't like this answer, but download .NET Framework 1.1 and
install (probably already have it), and download and install Squeak
.NET Bridge on SqueakMap, then....<br>
<br>
Run the following in a workspace:<br>
<br>
DotNet Environment getEnvironmentVariable: #windir<br>
<br>
Voila!<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
<br>

Sure. Your question sounded like you wanted to access the root<br>directory.<br><br>So you actually want some platform-dependent information. Well, look<br>up what you would do in another programming environment to access
<br>that information. Then do the same from Squeak. If you do not know<br>how to do that from Squeak, please explain that specific problem here.<br><br>- Bert -<br><br>Am 19.08.2005 um 18:04 schrieb IPSistemos:<br><br>> Hello,
