Name of current users home folder (OS X)

Hi all

First I'd like to thank everyone on this list for their continued help. You've helped me many times over.

I've devised a way of finding the current users home folder very crudely, see below:

tell application "Keychain Scripting"
set myUsersKey to name of keychain 1 as string
end tell

Obviously this requires that the user has not amended their keychain(s). Is there a better way of achiving this value? I've searched the listing and a few of the obvious Scripting Dictionaries but this was the best I could come up with.

The reason I need this is so that I can create a constant with the location of a file/folder on the desktop of each users 'profile'.

Many thanks,


Steve
