Hi,

	Iam having trouble reading user environment variables on M.S. windows
using Visualworks 2.0. 
	For example if I inspect the following line:

	CEnvironment userEnvironment

	I get 'INVALID'. On further investingation I found that this is 
	happening because the primitive call 

	CEnvironment class >>primEnvironment
	
	is failing.

	Thanks for any help.

Sreeni.
