The fred is Emmanuel being cute, it's just a variable that the result
is stored in I believe. :-)
From the documentation:
<

AppleScriptLangGuide/AppleScript.75.html>

These two statements are equivalent:
set x to 3
3 returning x
--result: 3
------
And yeah, the "system attribute" way is a more AppleScript way of doing
it that I didn't see at first.

system attribute "USER" returning fred
Much faster than a shell script. ;-) What's the 'returning fred' bit
for? It works the same without it.
