Got me the "Finder doesn't understand the "Path To" message.
Put the command OUTSIDE of the Finder tell block, and it will work. It will
return an alias to your current user folder.

Hmmm - Thanks, but searching Bill's site (I found it using Google)

It appears that my search engine doesn't work at all, currently. The site is
overdue for an update, and I've added that to the list.
In general, I have tracked changes in every version of AppleScript since
several years ago in a series of reports in the "AppleScript" chapter of my
Web site. Start with the most recent report and work backwards. I haven't
written up AppleScript 1.8.3 and 1.9 yet, but I plan to get to both of them.
I have a large collection of notes for both. In the meantime, Apple's
release notes for both of them are pretty thorough.
