erik,
In VFP 7.0/8.0:

ucNetName = GetWordNum(Sys(0),3)
ucMachine = GetWordNum(Sys(0),1)

In earlier versions:
If you load up FoxTools you could use:

ucNetName = WordNum(Sys(0),3)
ucMachine = WordNum(Sys(0),1)

Otherwise this works in all versions of VFP:

ucNetName=alltrim(substr(sys(0),at("#",sys(0))+1))
ucMachine=alltrim(substr(sys(0),1,at("#",sys(0))-1))

i also found that this command only works on winNT or 2k, but not on win98.

Actually, it will work on any system, but there has to be an environment variable set.
As in SET username=whoever. That line is usually in AUTOEXEC.* or CONFIG.*.
So in other words, I wouldn't rely on it being there.
