i'm aware of that, but it doesn't help much if you get a
POSIX-style path from an external source and need to
interpret it.
OK, how about this:
POSIX path of (path to current user folder as string)
--> "/Users/jonpugh/"
Didn't know it turned them back too, did you? ;)
yes i did. actually knew about (and had use for) POSIX path
before i knew about POSIX file. it did take a while for me
to make sense out of POSIX path being a property of the
POSIX file psuedoclass. it's a strange, asymmetric setup.
in any case, one will still need extra code if a script
might be handed "~/foo" from an external source.
