Determining a User's Name

[Phil Davis]

Joe -

Would environment variables work?

- on Mac OS X there's $USER

- on Win XP there's $USERNAME


So you could do this:


function currentUser
   switch the platform
     case "MacOS"
       return $USER
       break
     case "Win32"
       return $USERNAME
       break
   end switch
end currentUser


Or there might be a different variable you want to use. Check out 'globalNames' 
in the docs.
