Rory:

I can't help much; but since I've seen no other responses...

There is the QqfEnvironment procedure in service program QQFENV at V5R1. Very 
simple; it returns a BIN(4) that is either 0 or 1 -- 1 means it's running in a 
webfaced environment, AFAIK.

It requires ILE, so I don't know what you can do with it directly.
