A quick question regarding "path to" in OS X:
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

"path to" will accept any four-character string and use it as a
FindFolder selector, even if there isn't a proper AppleScript
enumeration for it (yet). For a complete list of selectors, look in
Folders.h in my iDisk.
