There were a varied degree of suggestions.
1. who -mM <-- Which basicially what I was looking for
2. Use the finger command then parse out the IP
(this is easier if a human is looking at the data, but was tough
to extract from - this was my first method before using "w")
3. w | grep $TTY | paste -s - | awk '{print $3}'
(basically like what I was doing...but required defining the
$TTY varible with the last two characters of `tty`
The majority of the replys however would be useful if I were attempting
to find the IP of the Host machine, not the client, involving..
using ifconfig, ping and parsing out the rc.config file.
Thank you to all who replied.

Subject: How to find "your" IP#
Is there a command to display your IP#, as is displayed when you
do a "w"?
Right now, I do a 'w user' and parse out the line with the same tty
then pull the IP#, it's a pain.
