How can I get the users Fullname?

[hdougl1]

I need to get the users full name not just the log in name. I've used the API call "GetUserName" and it just returns the user ID and not the full name. If you type set at the dos prompt I can see one of the environment variables called FULLNAME=JOHNDOE. Do I have to pipe this into a text file and parse it out - aru, or is there another API call to retrieve the users full name.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Can you email me code for using the "GetUserName" API call?
I'm starting to get involved with this sort of exercise and I need some help
