If you are at all security-conscious you shouldn't use the environment variables. They can easily be manipulated either by a batch or shell process prior to your app starting, or globally for the whole user session by creating a new user environment variable with the same name: My Computer...Properties...Advanced...Environment Variables

In contrast, SYS( 0 ) always returns the correct computer name regardless of what happens to the environment variables.
