Thanks. Unfortunately, I won't be able to test it out until next week, but one follow-up/clarification:

I assume running the "whoami" script captures the user name associated with the account (i.e. in the Accounts pane of System Preferences), but it's possible that some people have a different name for logging in to these servers than the account name on their Mac (I'm not IT -- I didn't do it!)... If that is the case, can I set myUser to missing value, as John suggests, but still use my dialog box solution? One other thing, and forgive my green-ness with all of this, in the context of the entire script, I assume I put the property myUser : missing value command above the tell Finder command, but execute the shell script or dialog box after the tell Finder command(?)

Thanks again.
