Missing something? I think not, but my usual over simplification :-)

Trying again.

Does there exist in the gambas native libraries a way to interrogate the 
current user's environment for any arbitrary setting?

I was looking for an answer to see if I was missing something in my 
understanding of the User, System, Application etc classes that may save 
me the effort of doing exactly what you said.

What I am really trying to do is something like this:

   If User.Env["ZZ_ABSOLUTE_RUBBISH"] then
     DoSomething_ProperLike
   Else
     Message.Error("blah,blah, blah. Die you Moron!")
     Return 300KV_through_keyboard
   Endif

I guess I'll have to write it myself.

cheers
