You don't need the dialog box either -


--> cut <--
property myUser : missing value
if myUser is missing value then set myUser to do shell script "whoami"
--> cut <--



The above script will capture the user's name the first time it's run. After that if you need to change the name you will need to re-compile the script and run it again. Make sure you re-compile just before you send your script so you don't inadvertently send it loaded with your name.
