This line:
system attribute "sysv"
will return the system's gestalt code, which in this case is 4117,
which if you convert it to hex is 1015, which is the system version.
In pre-X systems you could get the version of the finder
tell application "Finder"
get version
end tell
and that would usually line up with the OS version (I'm not sure of
what cases this wouldn't apply to). To compare
tell application "Finder"
set x to computer "sysv"
set y to version
end tell
{x, y}
--> {2320, "9.1"}
-- note that 2320 is 0910 in Hex
In X you don't need the tell block, but you do need to convert to hex
to get the version.

I know that this is possible, because I recall seeing the code somewhere,
but now I can't find it.
How do I determine what OS the script is running under? The delineations
can just be "Is it 10?", if that's what I can get.
