Chris and Michael:
Thanks for the information. Following your comments and some backchannel
responses, I downloaded the "Folder.h" file from Chris's iDisk page.
However, I found that the file does not list some four-character codes used
in the "Open Special Folder" script -- such as "mdoc" for the "Movies"
folder or "pdoc" for the "Pictures" folder -- nor does it include either the
"egfp" code or the equivalent "frontmost application" term. I'm still left
wondering whether there is a single source listing all word terms and
four-characters codes that can be used with the "path to" command.
