using OS 9.04 and AS 1.4 Standard Additions has the "set the clipboard to"
keywords. I believe that before Standard Additions, Jon's Commands carried
that particular keyword.

try this:
-- ---------------------------------------------------------

set MyName to ""
tell application "File Sharing"
set MyName to computer name
quit
end tell
set the clipboard to MyName
