Using Environ("...") on a Mac works only on a handful of environmental
variables like TMPDIR, USER, HOME.
Using more specific ones like OSTYPE, MACHTYPE or BASH_VERSINFO it just returns
an empty value.
This is especially bad because these could be used to distinguish if we are
running on a Mac or on Linux.
Which is unfortunately not possible by getGuiType() :-(
At least, InStrg(Environ("OSTYPE"), "darwin") would be a good guess to identify
a Mac as host if
Environ("OSTYPE") would return anything but an empty value when ran on a Mac.
Why I want to distinguish Macs from Linux boxes? Just try "shell(open -g, 4,
sPath)" on Linux or
"shell(nautilus, 4, sPath)" on a Mac.
