   It looks to me like you shouldn't ought to need that "and" in there, 
Scott. If I understand the CASE control structure properly, this should work just 
fine:

put word 2 of the systemVersion into V
if word 1 of the systemVersion = "Windows" then
  switch
    case V<4
      put "Windows 3.x" into tVersion
      break
    case V<4.1
      put "Windows 95" into tVersion
      break
    case V<4.9
      put "Windows 98" into tVersion
      break
    default
      put "Windows ME" into tVersion
  end switch
else
  switch
    case V<4
      put "Windows 98 or so" into tVersion
      break
    case V<5
      put "Windows NT" into tVersion
      break
    case V<5.1
      put "Windows 2000" into tVersion
      break
    default
      put "Windows XP" into tVersion
  end switch
end if

   Hope this helps...
