Thanks for that list, Guy. It's very revealing. Trying it out with Mac
OSses 8.6 and 9.0.4, I find that most of the options have shorter forms
(used in the dictionaries and in Script Editor's "Event log" window) and
a few are not available on these earlier systems:
path to apple menu [items folder]
path to application support [folder]
path to At Ease applications folder
path to At Ease documents folder
path to control panels [folder]
path to control strip modules [folder]
path to current user folder -- not AS 1.3.7 (OS 8.6); compiles but
errors on my 9.0.4 system (probably due to my set-up): "Disk some object
wasn't found."
path to desktop [folder]
path to desktop pictures folder
path to editors folder
path to extensions [folder]
path to Folder Action scripts [folder]
path to fonts [folder]
path to frontmost application
path to help folder
path to [internet] plugins [folder]
path to keychain folder -- not AS 1.3.7
path to modem scripts [folder]
path to preferences [folder]
path to printer descriptions [folder]
path to printer drivers [folder]
path to printmonitor [folder]
path to scripting additions [folder]
path to scripts folder
path to shared libraries [folder]
path to shutdown [items folder]
path to speakable items
path to startup [items folder]
path to startup disk
path to system preferences -- not AS 1.3.7
path to system folder
path to temporary items [folder]
path to trash [folder]
path to users folder -- not AS 1.3.7
path to voices [folder]
