Thats possibly a first step in the right direction. Havent tried it but will do tonight. i dont know the abilities of apple script to manipulate strings (in this case change the string "myPath"), but ill try to figure it out !

I can't envisage exactly what you're trying to do but create a script:

set myPath to path to me as string
display dialog (myPath)

and save it to your desktop as an application. Now run it. Does this help?

You need to be aware that this will return the path to Script Editor if you run it from within Script Editor.
