I had this problem once before. I'm racking my brain for my solution...
In either your autoexec.bat or startnet.bat you can SET USERNAME = {terminal name} to set a DOS environment variable. (I seem to remember that you can get the terminal name from NOVELL using a DOS command but I don't remember exactly what it is.) You can then use GETENV() to return the system environment variable. I believe that there is something similar that can be done on a 95 or NT network. The one drawback is that it requires some autoexec.bat maintenance.
