    state_entry()
    {
        llSetTimerEvent(1.0);
    }
    timer()
    {
        string here = llGetRegionName();
        if(region != here)
        {
            sim = llGetSimulatorHostname();
            region = here;
        }
        llSetText(
                "   REGION NAME : " + region + 
              "\n  SIM HOSTNAME : " + sim +

            <0,1,0>, 1.0);
    }
}
// llGetEnv now offers an equivalent function without the 10 second delay.
