I'm having trouble getting the full "User Name" of the current user with AS.
I can't seem to get it from the Account pref pane, from the Apple System
Profiler (without complicated text filtering)
or from file ownerships . . .
(In fact I can't seem to make the Pref Panes return anything . . .)
If I get "owner" of "info for" an item, I get the short user name not the
full account name . . .
"user name" appears to be a valid AS key word but I don't know exactly where
or what to call it from.
Am I way off track?
The reason I need the full name is so that the script will be user
independent.
I've thought of creating an "install" script that with generate a pref file
with the users name - but it would be nice to avoid this.
Advice received with appreciation.
