import os # likely to have been imported already
call(["more.com", os.environ['FILE_NAME']])

I have not been able to make it working.

Let's make a step back and simplify things. 

Let's use FRESCOBALDI_VERSION that should always be defined (FILE_NAME is not defined when the file has not been explicitly saved).

And let's use a simple assignement instead of an external call.

The following code paste in the editor window the text "ciccio" at the cursor position.....

-*- python;

text = "ciccio"

Now if I try....

-*- python;

import os

text = os.environ['FRESCOBALDI_VERSION']

I expect to see pasted the frescobaldi version. But this does not work and I get the errror.... KeyError: FRESCOBALDI_VERSION.

Maybe the variables are not part of os.environ?

Thank you David,
