Do I need a different version or maybe configure it a certain way?  When
I run beanshell and try to access an environment variable this is what I
get:

========================================

nicholas@sun:~ $ beanshell
BeanShell 2.0b2 - by Pat Niemeyer ([email protected])
bsh % System.out.println("PATH=" + System.getenv("PATH"));
// Error: // Uncaught Exception: Method Invocation System.getenv : at
Line: 1 : in file: <unknown file> : System .getenv ( "PATH" )

Target exception: java.lang.Error: getenv no longer supported, use
properties instead: PATH
