I agree with Francois, using LOOKUP% as alternative for EXISTS.
I use it a lot. It returns the place in the name table which can
also be
used to test for conflicting keywords if found out of place.

on QDOS
Lookup% can not distinguish between
SCR_XLIM and SCRXLIM
http://www.dilwyn.me.uk/tk/scrxlim.zip
if SCRXLIM_cde is loaded
print Lookup% ("SCR_XLIM") gives 160
print Lookup% ("SCRXLIM") gives 162
conclusion
QDOS -> EXISTS_bin
SMSQE -> Function_code
That looks right to me, assuming uQLx based code.
Lookup%(SCR_YLIM) will give 161 (its the last extension installed
by uQLx), and SCRXLIM is the first user one at 162.

On the other hand; would it be safe to presume; for all Systems;
if SCR_XLIM is not present; the default screen resolution is used ?
my reason is a simple system info
depends on
Exists_bin
scrxlim_cde

If it were only that easy.. :o(
I havent gone through all of it, but just a couple of things:
MACHINE would be better for sorting out wots wot, except not all
systems implement it. However, you can get the same info directly from
the system variables. I dont have the details to hand, but Im sure
someone will produce them any moment now..
EMU_VER$ was a result of my nagging to get some semblance of
conformity across the various emulators (Why does each emulator have a
different command to do the same thing!) The idea was that EMU_xxx
would replace JVA_xxx and QPC_xxx and anything else like it. Sadly,
that didnt happen only SMSQmulator complied (but then still kept the
old JVA_xxx) However, one day QPC (and/or any other) may conform and
then BANG! goes your test for SMSQmulator. If you want to do it that
way, better target JVA_VER$.
Just a wee logical slip up: You cant use FDEC$ unless either TK2 or
SMSQ/E (or some other toolkit I dont know about) are present.
