Thanks to everyone in guiding me to the GetTempPath function in the windows
unit.
It does return the path of the user's temp dir and for my app it works fine.
There remains an esthetic issue: its result is in the truncated format (eg
"C:\DOCUME~1\TOMDEN~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\").
A bit awkward to use in explanation to a user.
Would there be a way of getting the unabridged path name ?
And more generally: where do I start searching for the answer if I can not
get it from you? I find Help not very helpful in this respect.
Tom
