I think the following app-related variables would be nice...

AppName() -- Returns name of executable ("MyApp.exe") without the path.
AppSize() -- Returns byte size of executable (good for security checks).
AppDir() -- Full path where executable was run from, with trailing slash.

I also vote for this, AppDir() would be useful to test if my app is started from cdrom, from a directory on hd etc.
And AppName() + AppSize() is handy for testing, if someone has manipulated my exe

This returns the full path and filename of the executable, but only for windows.

path$=space(255)
GetModuleFileName_(#null,@path$,255)
