How to change the tab order at runtime

Normally the tab order on a window is determined by the sequence of the objects in the outline.
If you would like to change the tab order at runtime, use this:

   Set bOk = VisWinSetTabOrder( hWnd, hWndInsertAfter )

_{This function is located in vtwin.apl.}

How to get the value of environment variables

Use this function to get the value of environment variables.

   sEnvString = VisDosGetEnvString( sKeyName )

_{This function is located in vtdos.apl.}

Example of KeyNames are : PATH, TEMP, COMPUTERNAME etc.
(use the SET commando in a DOSBOX to enumerate all environment variables currently used in the session).
