I can get the path to desktop the following way:
set mypath to path to desktop
In UNIX it would be
set mypath to "/"
But I assume you tried that. The root is also the highest level
directory on the startup disk.
set foo to "/"
POSIX file foo
--> file "Dora"
path to startup disk
--> alias "Dora:"
POSIX path of "Dora"
--> "/"

Do not go out and kill Klansmen, no matter how much they deserve it.
It would be funny as hell to see on the evening news how a bunch of
guys wearing bright pink robes and hoods started burning triangles in
their yards for a change.
