... and you need environment variables for Logtalk?  From all my reading
in docs, I think you can set environment variables for an app in the
apps Info.plist.  Not sure there is a sensible UI for that.  The alternative
is to ask people to edit ~/.plrc (Settings/User init file) and add either
:- setenv(Var, Value) calls or :- create_prolog_flag/3 calls.

Would that do?  Alternatively, create a Logtalk.app :-)
