Well, running under WinXP on a true PC, if you ask for "the platform", you
get "Win32". I also get this running Rev 2.9 under VMWare Fusion as well.

BTW, I would also suggest that you put quote your "if the platform"
statement so that "MacOS" can't be looked at as a literal. For example, if
you execute this on Windows, you'll see the answer box come back "true":

  put "Win32" into MacOS
  answer (the platform is MacOS)

whereas this will answer "false":

  put "Win32" into MacOS
  answer (the platform is "MacOS")

Is this in the IDE, or in your standalone? If it's in the IDE, then the IDE
might be getting in the way...
