System Profiler dictionary in 10.3?


  • Subject: System Profiler dictionary in 10.3?

I'm trying to write a script, in Panther, that copies the Serial Number from the System Profiler and pastes it into the Computer Name in the Sharing preference pane.

It seemed simple, until I figured out that neither the System Profiler nor the System Preferences were recordable (at least actions aren't recorded when I try it using the ScriptEditor). I'm new to AppleScripting, but figured I could at worse look at the dictionaries for the two applications and find examples on the web. But there are no unique dictionary settings for the System Profiler in 10.3.

I've tried the examples for the System Profiler found in AppleScript in a Nutshell, but they're all for 10.2.

While I'd be ever so grateful for a prewritten script (*grin*), I'd be happy with information on how to at least get started.

Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions...
