This does not appear to be built in to REALbasic. In a plugin I once 
wrote, I actually had to go visit System specific APIs on Mac OS and 
Windows to figure out the timezone. That gets a little complicated when 
taking daylight savings time into account.
If you're running on Mac OS X, use the shell class and execute the 
"date" command. Try "man date" and "man strftime" from your terminal to 
see how to format it to get what you want, which might just be an offset 
from UTC.
