SKILL: Function to identify OS or computer?

[Edward Dodge]

I'm trying to modify my bindkey file so that it tests what kind of
system is loading it. Based on that, I'll write some extra code that
changes the ESC-key to "Meta" if it's on a Sun/Solaris and "Alt"
otherwise. Anyone know of such a function or have a nice, elegant way
to get around this?

Thanks in advacne,

Edward

Edward,
There was a similar discussion on this forum:

There is a private function hiiGetModifierList(), it returns a list, you
can take car(hiiGetModifierList()) to get the available modifiers.
