Thanks. I knew about that, but it requires sudo or admin access -- which
the app may not have -- so I decided to read the relevant file directly.
The files themselves appear to be set up with at least read-only access;
I hope that's the case everywhere.
Some sleuthing on the web revealed that in 10.2 the file is located here
(if anyone is interested):
/private/var/db/SystemConfiguration/preferences.xml
This gives the system info, including the MAC address.
