p = VALUE("Path","home/user/bin"."ENVIRONMENT")

The dot should be a comma.

Additionally, the meaning of "Linux only" is unclear. When the function is used under Windows, it simply fails and returns 0. This should be explicitly noted: "Linux only" seems to imply that a call from a Windows system should produce a 43.1 (because the BIF exists only on Linux builds).

The last comment is also true of ENDLOCAL.

    I have checked this patch for use of English and it is OK.
