(VEE Pro 6.2; NT4, sp6a)

I tried running a program posted here, 'beep.vee'. To create the name of a
library it needed to load, it used the formula, ..

    getEnv("windir")+"\system32\kernel32.dll"

This failed, saying ..

    "%systemRoot%system32kernel32.dll was not found"

My environment does contain windir as well as systemRoot, ..

     SystemRoot=C:winnt
     ...
     windir=%SystemRoot%

And, if I substitute "SystemRoot" for "windir" in the formula, the program
runs successfully. This is fine, for running on this box; but, I don't
want to build in avoidable portability problems.

If anyone could shed some light on this, I would appreciate it.

TIA,
George

OK. That would take care of the portability issue, I think. Thanks.

If it matters, given (1), this yields an error (601), "invalid expression
..", pointing at the first backslash:
       getEnv("windir")+<file://\system32\kernel32.dll>\system32\kernel32.dll
