I'm short some clues here.
The phrase 'use the Finder's "computer" verb' isn't getting me very far,
The only thing I tried that worked was:
tell app "Finder"
set foo to computer name
end tell
but how I get to Gestalt from here is a mystery, getting to the
appropriate selector is a mystery, and interpreting the results is a mystery.
I seem to be missing some underlying concepts for dealing with
AppleScript and don't know where to find them.
Is there some way I can ask the Finder's "computer" verb how to use it?
ask it what properties it has?
