Getting the path to a users folder in OS X seems a bit convoluted. At the
moment I'm getting the path to the users desktop and then taking a step
back to get the users root folder ("~/" in unix land). Is there a way to
get the user's root directory directly (and say that half a dozen time
quickly)?
My guess is that there is a way to get the current user's name much like
you can with the startup disk, but I don't know the command. Once you
figure it out though
set userRootFolder to {"/Users",userName,"/"} as string
What you're doing should be okay though
