Malte, here's what I use to get the computer's name in OS X:
put shell("system_profiler SPSoftwareDataType") into tData
get matchText(tData,"(?s)Computer Name:\W*(.*?)\n",tName)
You need to pass a type of information you want to get back to
system_profiler (in this case "SPSoftwareDataType"). To get the different
data types do:
put shell("system_profiler -listDataTypes")
