Same rusty programmer - new problem...

I /think I know/ that it is possible to read a system variable and to use
the result within a BASIC program. After a fruitless evening with the PRM
I wonder if someone could drop me a hint?
For instance I know that, eg using *SHOW, I see that Alias$@RunType_B28
returns information that shows NetSurf has 'claimed' this file type
(URL). I am trying to find a way to get that information into a string in
BASIC. I hope that it is the syntax rather than the concept that is
eluding me. Any hints appreciated.
Thanks
