   You can't get an environment in plug-in init because there is no
environment at that point.  However, in plug-in idle (or any time
really), you can get an environment using the FMX_SetToCurrentEnv call
like so:

fmx::errcode fError;
fmx::ExprEnvAutoPtr fEnv;

fError = FMX_SetToCurrentEnv(&(*fEnv));
if (fError == 0)
   {
     // use it...
   }

I've also seen this before (I think it's right):

fError = FMX_SetToCurrentEnv(fEnv->get());

... if you don't like the looks of &(*fEnv) .. :)

HTH,
Jake
