How to get Windows system directory?

I would appreciate any help about this problem (problem for me :))

MODULE('win32')
GetWindowsDirectory(*CSTRING lpBuffer, ULONG
 SIZE),ULONG,RAW,PASCAL,NAME('GetWindowsD
irectoryA')
END

And in your code you do

LOC:WinDir CSTRING(256)

GetWindowsDir(LOC:WinDir, 255)

et voila

PS
The module must be included in the global MAP.

Very simple, but very effective. Thank you... Until next
problem, Siniša

OK, here we go again around system directory. Second question about this is
how to (on some event) create tps files into previously determineted system
directory. For example, I want to create some tps files when first time
start some procedure and to store that files into windows system directory?
I know that must be so simply, but for beginner like me it is not
Regard, Siniša.

1. I guess, just as good practice, you should put each question in its own
thread.
2. You can very easily check the WIN API calls at www.msdn.com or even look
in the source files of Clarion, e.g. CWUTIL.INC
Here the stupid thing is that the guys at SV did not make the effort to put
all API calls into INC file, just selection which they thought we need and
nothing else.
The system directory's API call is the same as with the windows, only the
name is GetSystemDirectory. According to Microsoft and MSDN applications
should not create files into the system directory, only in windows.
3. You can specify in the dictionary that a name of a file is not a litteral
constant but it is kept in a variable by prefixing the litteral with
exclamation mark "!". Thus before opening the file you put the name in the
variable and ta da, the name is dynamic ;o)

success,
Ivo

OK, this part is partialy succesfull, but... What I've got is tps file with
name WINDOWS.TPS stored in root directory. My effort is to create and store
tps file named PARAMETER.TPS into c:\windows\ directory on first startup of
application.

Can u post a snippet?
