Use of variable named UID does work well with OS X (version
10.2.8). Apparently the variable UID is a constant already
in use. When trying to the run the script without
modification, I was receiving the following error message:

UID: readonly variable

This issue was resolved by changing the name of variable,
UID, to something else, such as MMUID. Works fine with this
change.

As an aside (& for what it is worth), the UID grab command
suggested by tgc99 on 2005-02-16 03:15 works on this system
(OS X - version 10.2.8)
