Interestingly enough they both seem to work on my Power PC mac
10.4.7.. But neither one works on my Intel MacBook 10.4.7.
The shell script one works on both.. but thats kinda a hassle isn't it?

This works:

This used to work:
set the item_info to info for (path to Library folder)
set size_of_info to size of item_info
How can I make it work now? (Mac OS X 10.4.7.)
Thanks.
OK, I guess it's not as bad as it sounds. But I'd still like to add
to my collection if anybody has anything simpler.
property tmpfile : "/tmp/execme"
set theShellScript to "osascript -e 'set the item_info to info for
(path to library folder)
set size_of_info to size of item_info'"
do shell script "echo" & space & quoted form of theShellScript &
space & ">" & space & tmpfile
do shell script "chmod +x" & space & tmpfile
set theresult to do shell script tmpfile with administrator privileges
do shell script "rm" & space & tmpfile
theresult
