This is great information and much quicker than actually firing up Apple
System Profiler. However, I cannot get the Applications to show up - I can't
get them to show up just running Apple Systems Profiler. Maybe a problem
with ASP in OS X?

This unfortunately doesn't answer your specific question but instead of
using
the Apple System Profiler.app and parsing out the results why not just use
set asp to do shell script "/usr/sbin/AppleSystemProfiler"
which returns your info as a result into the variable asp and you can
manipulate it however you wish or if you have BBEdit (full version, possibly
lite version too I haven't tried it) installed you can use
do shell script "/usr/sbin/AppleSystemProfiler | bbedit"
to have the complete (or partial, see below) results put into a window in
BBEdit.
If you only want one specific item of the result you can use 'grep' to grab
just
that piece of info. For Example -
set asp to do shell script "/usr/sbin/AppleSystemProfiler | grep 'IP'"
--> " IP = 10.0.0.10"
Last but not least you can even redirect the partial result to a file or
BBEdit
do shell script "/usr/sbin/AppleSystemProfiler | grep 'Ethernet address'
|
bbedit" -- line wrapped OMM
which will place " Ethernet address = 00.03.93.15.FB.54" into a new BBEdit
window.
