But if it is not support on some OS, it should be documented so. I 
just checked that I get 'unknown' with engine 2.4.1 under OS 10.2 as 
well.  It is strange, though, that OSX would not support it. The 
toolbox surely has gestalt functions. May be there is a glitch in the 
OSX engine. Someone (the original poster) should bugzilla this so RR 
people can sort it out and either fix or document.
