The use of environment variables in e-mail addresses. (or every where you can use macros now)

Do you mean system environ variables? Probably better implement some global HostMonitor's variables? Or user profiles with list of variables?

Yes, I mean system (DOS) environment variables.
So an external (local) program or a batch etc. can change this variables.

When you should use "HM Global variables", they can only set within HM (HM script, HM action, ...), am I right ?

I am afraid it will not work. Each process has own copy of environ variables and BAT file (or external program) will be able to change that copy. It will not be able to change environ variables those available to HostMonitor.

OK, you're right. (of course )
How do you see global HM variables or user profiles with a set of variables ?

In version 4 will be implemented list of users, each will have set of rights (e.g. manage report profiles, manage action profiles, etc) and some properties like e-mail address, ICQ address, pager number. You will be able to specify these properties in the actions using macro variables.
