As a total AppleScript newbie, I came up with this script to help me change
the computer name (for both rendezvous and appletalk):
------------------------
tell application "Finder" to activate the application "System Preferences"
tell application "System Preferences"
set hostname to ""
display dialog ,
"Enter a hostname for both Computer Name and Rendezvous Name" &
return & "Try to not use any special character like ,
< /!@#$%^&*()_ .> but you can use < - >" default answer the hostname
copy the text returned of the result to hostname
end tell
tell application "System Events" to tell process "System Preferences"
click menu item "Sharing" of menu "View" of menu bar 1
delay 3
set the value of text field 1 of window 1 to hostname
set the value of text field 2 of window 1 to hostname
end tell
tell application "System Preferences" to quit
-------------------------
It is more of a cheap workaround than a real script ;)
Hope this helps

Any explanation about this is welcome, what's the aim of 'system

attribute' ? (I must admit that I've been ignoring it for a long time)
