    This works only within the workbench scripting console/shell:

    for index, system in enumerate(GetAllSystems()):
    system.DisplayText = "MySystem_%s" % index

    This works only within the Mechanical :

    def Test():
    ScriptCmds =r"""
for index, system in enumerate(GetAllSystems()):
    system.DisplayText = "System_%s" % index  
"""
    import wbjn
    wbjn.ExecuteCommand(ExtAPI, ScriptCmds)
thread=System.Threading.Thread(System.Threading.ThreadStart(Test))
thread.Start()
