(9.2.2) Path To...

path to voices
--> alias "Steve:System Folder:Extensions:Voices:"

Yay!

path to scripts folder
--> alias "Steve:System Folder:Scripts:"

Yay!

path to printer descriptions
--> alias "Steve:System Folder:Extensions:Printer Descriptions:"

This is good!

path to temporary items
--> alias "Steve:Temporary Items:"


Erm, no. Why is it the one I need to use is the one that returns the wrong
result?

Then I realised - "Temporary Items" isn't a standard Apple folder. So why
can I query the path to a folder that doesn't exist and get an incorrect
path back? Is it a variable I can set (which would be nice). Or should I use
Application Support for dumping temporary files in?
