What I noticed was that when trying to get the environment variable
$DOCUMENT_ROOT, that I could access it from within a script as you say:

<! echo("Document Root = $DOCUMENT_ROOT"); >

but I couldn't do it before a 'load' command, which would be useful eg:

<! load "$DOCUMENT_ROOT/lib/mylib.lib"; >
