How to read a Windows environmentvariable from OO macro ?

Hi,

I am new to OO basic.

I am trying to read a Windows environment variable from an OO macro (to get the home directory of the program I want to launch from OpenOffice)

Is there a way to do that ?

Alternatively, I could use a Windows registry key if this is easier ?

Thanks for any help !

Thanks a lot : I found exactly the answer I needed !

Access to Windows environment vairaibles is easy through :

environ("WindowsVariable")

I created a macro like :

print environ("WindowsVariable")

And it gave me the variable value.

Again Thanks !
