As far as I know, there is no simple way to do this. IDL itself
doesn't have access to information like that. However, you may be
able to take advantage of the 'spawn' command. This command let's you
run external commands on the computer you are on. So, if you can find
a way to get this information without using IDL, then you can use IDL
to run that command, and viola. That's the only way I can think of to
do it.
