Here you go:

on mouseUp
  answer ComputerName()
end mouseUp

function ComputerName
  local tName
  put shell("system_profiler SPSoftwareDataType") into tData
  get matchText(tData,"(?s)Computer Name:\W*(.*?)\n",tName)
  if it is true then
    return tName
  else
    return "Error: Can't locate computer name."
  end if
end ComputerName
