The "environment" function tells your script whether you are running in 
Rev's IDE or from within a standalone. This lets you do different things 
based on where the stack is currently running. For example, while 
developing, you may not want Rev to actually quit when you click a 
"Quit" button, but in the standalone you would. So you can write a 
handler to test whether the stack is running as a standalone so that it 
will only quit if it is:

on mouseUp -- in a "Quit" button
   if the environment is "development" then -- we are in the IDE
    close this stack -- just close, don't quit
   else -- it is a standalone
    quit
   end if
end mouseUp
