Basic: scripting OS X System Profiler

I am still confused about figuring out what can be scripted in a given application .

I want to script the System Profiler in OS X 10.3. So I opened its dictionary in Script Editor. Aside from the Standard Suite and the Text Suite, which didn't have anything specific to System Profiler, there was System Profiler suite. Within its two classes were a couple of properties named 'profile' and 'system profiler'.

That's it. I did a script to "get system profile" and it gave me the hardware overview.

So I'm thinking - is that it? Are there any other nouns? What if I want to obtain the "Get Info String" for the AppleMesh kernel extension? Network details? What if I want all the information that the System Profiler could possibly give me?

Maybe there's nothing useful the SysProf can give me via AppleEvents. If that's the case, fine - I'll know to rely on the dictionary as the authoritative source for what you can or cannot tell an application....

Thanks -- Chap
