determine what

No. It's one of the things that Apple decided to leave out in the name of
simplicity. You'll need to find a program to do it. "Apple System
Profiler" as suggested, will likely work. You may have to go find yourself
a copy. Have you checked Apple's web-page?

There does appear to be a problem with transporting files/data from a computer
to a MAC. Apparently, if I move things to a PC diskette, I can only read the
content as data on the MAC, so there's got to be another way to get stuff from
the web to these MAC's. I'm not patient enough to wait for a transfer at 2400
baud on those GV Teleport Bronze modems.

Try do download them as .sit (Stuffit), .hqx or .gz (gzip) files and copy them
over to the Mac. Unstuff them with Stuffit Expander and you'll have no
problems. I regularly get Mac stuff using this Linux box (faster modem!).
Avoid .sea (Self Extracting Archive?) files as they're Mac applications and
will have problems.
