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

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
Notes:
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).
