It would need to be enclosed in a tell app "Finder" block, but given that
it should "magically" become computer when transported to Mac OS 9. When
transported back to Mac OS X, it will be in an unneeded tell block but
again become system attribute.

Very simple magic: same pair of four-byte codes, different terminology,
and a partial counter-argument to "don't put things in Finder tell blocks
unless you have to." Here's a case where you may want to for a while
longer in X.
