I believe that it was announced that in AS 1.7 those "special" Finder
folders - except for desktop and trash - were deprecated, and that you need
to use the equivalents from 'path to' Standard Addition. The advantage is
that 'path to' now works bug-free in Finder tell blocks, I believe. I'm sure
the correct details will be at AppleScript SourceBook.

Maybe I was never doing it correctly, but it worked. Any help or suggestions
