I do not understand the meaning of (((path to startup disk) as text)
&"Volumes:volname:rest:of:path:")
compared to the simple:
set thePath to ("VolumeName:folder:folder:")
Well, the first statement is a bit redundant but I do it anyways.
Under Mac OS X your startup disk is the root disk, if you go into the
Terminal your root is the path "/". All of the other mounted disks
(volumes actually) have what are called "mount points" and they are
stored in the path "/Volumes/". So to get to the volume
"AnotherVolume" you would go to "/Volumes/AnotherVolume/"
Dear Ken,
Sorry for my late answering. I was not at home those 2 last days.
Many thanks for the clear explanations.
You really gifted for that. What about writing a book, (a kind of
"AppleScript for dummies) ? I would buy it immediately. ;-)
Yours
Bernard
