[OSX]path to modem scripts folder

The AppleScript phrase "path to modem scripts folder", if executed by a user, returns "That folder doesn't exist and you don't have permission to create it." (blunt isn't it? <grin>)

If logged in as root, executing this line in script editor creates a folder called "Modem Scripts", at /System/Library, and returns "Macintosh HD:System:Library:Modem Scripts:" ignoring the default modem scrips folder at "Macintosh HD:Library:Modem Scripts:" where all the factory installed ones go. I suggested to Mac OS X feedback that the call be implemented to return the globally availabe folder at /Library/Modem Scripts, and an additional item be added for "User Modem Scripts folder" to return ~/Library/Modem Scripts/ if that is necessary, though I don't see why it should be. As I understand it, the /System/Library/Modem Scripts/ should not be accessed by user level apps anyway, so there is no need to add a reference to it for AppleScript.

Comments anybody?

Peter
