The documentation is a bit 'dicky', and on my Linux box "put the machine"

My macMini PPC gets 'unknown' from "put the machine'; also fairly useless.
HOWEVER: "put the platform" yields 'Linux' and 'MacOS' respectively; and,
I assume, this should give you 'Windows' or somesuch
for Windows.
I wonder what the purpose of 'machine' is as it is so obviously incomplete?
Richmond.
Windows returns "Win32" as the platform (even when running a 64-bit OS).
This is probably because the LC engine itself is still 32-bit, and
therefore doesn't see the machine beyond it's own encapsulation in 32-bit
space.
I wouldn't really fuss unduly about the '32' (at least its not '42' !!!!).
I would be most grateful if you could do a "put the machine" in your
Message Box to see what that returns.
I wonder what 'put the platform' yields for all the mobile platforms?
