Do you know how to tell in a shell script if you're currently in a workon
environment?

I tried "workon", "workon -list", "workon -info", "currentsb", "sbinfo"
and in each case I can't tell from the output whether I'm in a workon
or not. This is not a problem interactively (since my prompt changes
in a workon), but from a script I'd like to be able to know if the user
is currently in some workon environment.

	Thanks ode gurus,

The simplest way to tell if you are in a workon is by checking the environment
variable WORKON.  You can additional environment variable checks by testing
SOURCEBASE and PROJECT_NAME.  srequest checks all three of these before it
tries to do any ode commands.
