It's ATHENA_QUICK, just like Mike said. I don't know where you would
have seen the other variable names.
Incidentally, for documentation purposes, I think it's important to
recognize that most users will actually want to conditionalize
existing parts of their .startup.X or .environment files the other
way:
if ( ! $?ATHENA_QUICK )
do existing slow stuff
endif
