    I am looking for the "System ENVIRONMENT Variables" These use the (getenv
    "ACAD") for search paths and options like that?

  4. System environment variables are specific to each machine and the software
    installed on each machine. My system has 30+. Most systems have probably
    less than a dozen. There is no definitive list as you can add any variable
    you want. There are a few standards that windows uses, like PATH and TEMP,
    but they dont necessarily have to be there. You can look on your system to
    see what you have set. In Windows 2000 they are in Control
    Panel->System->Advanced->Environment Variables.

    That makes sense....I thought you could run this through AutoLisp to specify
    custom properties..

  11. Not sure where Mr. Uhden got all these from.
    Perhaps he will chime in here and let all of us
    know where the secrete stash is.

  13. Isn't this a regular command and sysvar listing? It doesn't seem to
    identify environment variables that one accesses via the SETENV and GETENV
    lisp commands, such as in MaxHatch.
