+<h2>Syntax</h2>
+
+<dl>
+<dt>(get-user)</dt>
+<dd>returns - a string naming the user, or &quot;nyquist&quot;</dd>
+</dl>
+
+<h2>Description</h2>
+
+<p>The '<nobr>get-user</nobr>' function returns the current user name.
+<nobr>In Unix</nobr> systems [including <nobr>OS X</nobr> and Linux], this
+is the value of the USER environment variable. <nobr>In Windows</nobr>, this
+is currently just &quot;nyquist&quot;, which is also returned if the
+environment variable cannot be accessed. This function is used to avoid the
+case of two users creating files of the same name in the same temp
+directory. </p>
