Question "$" in environment variable

Hi,

I have a problem with retreiving the value of an environment variable. The name of the variable is:

DIR$INP

I am not able to change the name of the variable, because it is used by programs to which I do not have access to. The variable contains the name of a directory as value. I have tried many things to access this value on a shell, but I haven't succeeded. I've tried things like:

echo $DIR$INP

echo $DIR\$INP

echo ${DIR\$INP}

echo $'DIR\$INP'

echo $"DIR\$INP"

Nothing seems to work. Can anybody help me please... Thank you,

kind regards,
Lamac
