describe-variable - Describe current setting of a variable
describe-variable (C-h v)
describe-variable describes the current setting of the given variable (%, : and $ variables), returning ERROR if the variable is undefined. If a $ variable is not found then it is tested for an environment variable, i.e.
describe-variable $PATH
returns your environment $PATH setting. This is the easiest and best way of determining the current platform from within a Macro file.
The returned value of any undefined variable is the string ERROR.
Completion is enabled on the command line for variable names.
