Multi-user?

[Romeyn Prescott]

OK...this is a groovy idea.  I'm actually trying to do this to assign 
different molrc.input files to different users.

Can someone please tell me what is actually parsing molrc.osx??  I 
have a file named /etc/mol/molrc.input/user1.  I want to insert the 
environment variable for the logged in user executing startmol, but I 
don't know what environment I'm in!  I've tried Perl convention, 
bash...but nothing seems to work (e.g. molrc.input.$LOGNAME, 
molrc.input.$ENV{USER}, etc.).

Thanks,
...ROMeyn
