FAQ.How to ask the Mac for the Name of the Machine?

Answer: Using Apple Events you can use this code:
Example
Function Computername() As string

dim theEvent as AppleEvent
dim err as boolean

theEvent = newAppleEvent("mchn","getd","MACS")

err = theEvent.send

return theevent.ReplyString

End Function

Code above is for Mac OS 9!
Also the MBS Plugin has a function for this which may be faster and work also on Macs without Filesharing (which handles this event).
