Q.
Dear Ab-end: I'm looking for a login script variable to write out the "first name" of a user in the login script in NetWare 4.xx. I have tried nearly everything I can think of, but couldn't get it to work. Any ideas?

Dear Invariably: As far as I know, the variables for NetWare 4.xx that have been defined are the following:
%LOGIN_NAME %FULL_NAME %LAST_NAME %LOGIN_ALIAS_CONTEXT (NDS only) %LOGIN_CONTEXT (NDS only)
There is no %FIRST_NAME variable defined for NetWare 4.xx (or any other version for that matter). I'll keep my ears open to see if a first name variable is being considered for a future version of NetWare. If so, we'll announce it when it's available.
