win32api... another question: GetEnvironmentVariable("PATH")

I can't seem to get the win32api.GetEnvironmentVariable() function to work
properly... am I not using it correctly by the following?

path = win32api.GetEnvironmentVariable("PATH")

or

path = win32api.GetEnvironmentVariable("%%PATH%%")

BOTH of the above return None to path... what am I missing?

And lastly, is there an equivalent "SetEnvironmentVariable"?  There is no
mention in the docs, but maybe there's a way to modify the Windows PATH on
the fly, besides a os.system() command (which isn't really correct either).

Thanks...

Kevin.
