Maya 4 display layers

Is there any way to get the current layer through mel.
In Maya 3 you use to be able the get the current layer with the command "getCurrentLayer" but when I run a script that uses this command I get an error that says that maya can't find the procedure.

I can't find the equivilant command in Maya 4.
