Accessing the Desktop & directory path specifications

I'm needing to script access to the same file on the Desktop of several
different computers and signons. I could store the script in a folder in the
Documents folder then within the script refer relatively up two levels and
then down one onto the Desktop but I am unsure of how to do this
specification in the open.

Is there a nifty standardized way to access the local Desktop or to
otherwise accomplish this type of thing?

Where can I read up on AppleScript directory path specifications in general?

Thx for any tips.
Ken
