System Fields not Populating

[Nancy Palmquist]

Matt,

It is my experience that on a windows system these variables are not 
populated at all.  I think it is just an oversight that flows back to 
the days when users did not log into a Windows system, so there was 
nothing to capture.

You can load real fields with that information by using 
getenv("USERNAME") on most new windows platforms.

That is what I do when I want to make use of the username.
