(OP)
I have seen several questions in forums on the "Last saved by" option of the dwgprops command of the drawing properties dialog box. I have read to load the acsiobj.arx and or the acsiui.arx. Also, one has to initiate the dwgprops command before the last saved by section of the drawing properties dialog box will show anything. I have loaded these on several computers in my office. (I loaded

(arxload "acsiobj.arx")
(arxload "acsiui.arx")
(command "dwgprops" ;)
in my acad.lsp file
 I have also loaded the (arxload "asciobj.arx" & (arxload "acsiui.arx") in the start up suites via the appload command (load/unload Applications dialog box.

I have gone to different computers and opened a .dwg and saved it then closed AutoCAD. I then went to my computer and opened the same file and it does not show the user log in name on the RText code that I have assigned.
My Rtext code is

$(getprop, lastsavedby)

Does anyone know why it is not working on other computers? I believe that if I can get the dwgprops command to run once the dwg is open and then when some one saves the file it will show the last saved by correctly.

By the way it does show my user name on my computer.
