Thanks guys for leading me to what I was interested in doing but didn't 
know how.  I used the following in the message box and got the items of 
the profiler.  It took a little time to get the profiler in the message 
box (at first I thought I had a crash).

In the message box:  put shell("system_profiler")   NOTE the quotes.

 From the profiler list, I found the serial number of my Imac G5 and then
In the message box I typed:  if  "Serial Number xxxxxxx" is in 
shell("system_profiler") then beep 5

Now I have to figure out how to implement any item(s) in the profiler 
of a user in an application.  At least it is a start.

Any suggestions?  Thanks.
