At least since MacOS 8, some, may be all, special folders in MacOS

Very interesting. Thanks!
No problem. You are welcome!
But what surprised me, and what I'm still
not sure about, is that the four-letter sig works as a bare string
with no explicit indication that you mean "the special folder with
this signature" .
Well, this is not exactly so!
"path to" can understand the special 4 letters code, but other
commands do not.
I have not gone thru all commands in the SA but I assume no other
command do understand the 4 letters code.
