never mind what's in it. Where is it? In OS X:
get path to "flnt"
--> alias "OS X HD:private:tmp:501:Cleanup At Startup:"
That "501" thing is usually the container for the regular temporary items
folder in OS 9. In X:
path to temporary items
-->alias "OS X HD:private:tmp:501:Temporary Items:"
They're siblings in the same invisible folder.
Incidentally, the finder refers to invisible folders just as "items" , not
folders:
set temp to path to temporary items
--> alias "OS X HD:private:tmp:501:Temporary Items:"
set cleanup to path to "flnt"
--> alias "OS X HD:private:tmp:501:Cleanup At Startup:"
tell application "Finder" to set a501 to container of temp
--> item "501" of folder "tmp" of item "private" of startup disk of
application "Finder"
tell application "Finder" to set tmp to container of a501
--> folder "tmp" of item "private" of startup disk of application "Finder"
tell application "Finder" to set privy to container of tmp
--> item "private" of startup disk of application "Finder"
