I know about $(Delphi) and $EDNAME but after much seaching I cant find a list of these and any others for use in libary path names etc. Can anyone oblige please?

A:
I don't know if the information on this page is 100% complete, but it's very useful never-the-less.
It provides a list of macro names (as they are called) and some examples of usage. The page makes reference to reproducing the information from the Delphi Help, but I couldn't find this information (easily) in the BDS 2006 help system. However, within the IDE itself, when you add/edit a "Tool" via the Tools > Configure Tools menu, the list of supported macros and a brief description is provided.
Note that in addition to these macro names (only recognised, afaik, in the "Tools > Configure Tools" part of the IDE), any environment variable may be identified using the same/similar syntax in path/directory fields of various IDE settings:
$(ENV) << substitutes value of environment value named "ENV"
