Bill et all,
Thank you very much for your help. I was aware of the system_profiler
command, and I have used it in the past. My intentions of the
posting to the list was to try and see how others are getting this
information, or if there was a good way to get the information from
the About This Mac window already formated...
I ended up using the code below to get the information I needed.
set p to do shell script "/usr/sbin/system_profiler -
detailLevel mini" --using detailLevel mini will speed the command up
a little
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to "System
Version: "
set sysVer to paragraph 1 of (text item 2 of p)
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to "CPU Speed: "
set cpuSpeed to paragraph 1 of (text item 2 of p)
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to "CPU Type: "
set cpuType to paragraph 1 of (text item 2 of p)
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to "Memory: "
set memAmount to paragraph 1 of (text item 2 of p)
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to "("
set OSversion to (text item 1 of sysVer)
set buildVersion to (text item 2 of sysVer)
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to ")"
set buildVersion to (text item 1 of buildVersion)
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to " "
set contents of text field "version" of box "system" of
statusPanel to (text item 4 of OSversion)
set contents of text field "build" of box "system" of
statusPanel to buildVersion
set contents of text field "processor" of box "system"
of statusPanel to cpuSpeed & " " & cpuType
set contents of text field "memory" of box "system" of
statusPanel to memAmount
Hopefully this code will be useful to others.
Thanks to everyone who replied.

I would like to have a window in my application include the same
information that the About this Mac windows shows.
I.E:
System Version: 10.4.2
Build Number: 8C46
Processor: 1.5 GHz PowerPC G4
Memory: 1.25 GB DDR SDRAM
How can I get the information?
Thanks in advance,

Rhon,
I notice nobody seems to want to give you a concrete answer.
Something like
the following should get you basically what you're after, although
you'll
have to fiddle a bit to get the format exactly as you want it:
set p to do shell script "system_profiler"
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to "System Version: "
set sysVer to paragraph 1 of (text item 2 of p)
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to "CPU Speed: "
set cpuSpeed to paragraph 1 of (text item 2 of p)
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to "CPU Type: "
set cpuType to paragraph 1 of (text item 2 of p)
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to "Memory: "
set memAmount to paragraph 1 of (text item 2 of p)
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to ""
return "System Version: " & sysVer & return & "Processor: " &
cpuSpeed & " "
& cpuType & return & "Memory: " & memAmount -- watch line wraps here
Hope that helps,
Bill
