Martin,

I found out that the some functions use and return the environment variable
...

pd_StringToPath :: !String !*env -> (!(!Bool, Path), !*env) | FileSystem env
pathToPD_String	::	!Path !*env -> (!String,  !*env)	| FileSystem
env 

...where it seems that the only purpose of the environment variable is to
retrieve the platform-id. Would not it be easier if the platform-id were put
in the deltaSystem-module as a constant (in the IOInterface folder)? That
would free users from chaining the environment-variable through these two
functions.
