BTW, independent of whether requiring a function to be used instead of the variable is a good idea, I'm not sure the name (environment) is very good -- the word "environment" is a pretty general one. Why not call the function the same thing as the variable, "process-environment"? That makes the meaning of the function, and the connection with the old variable, more obvious. -Miles -- "Whatever you do will be insignificant, but it is very important that you do it."
