Hi All
I am sure this is really easy but I just can't make it work.
What is the syntax to get the path to the current users "Documents"
folder?
Thanks in advance.

I came across this a while ago, don't know if it's common knowledge,
so I
thought I'd share it here:
An additional tip about “path to”: you don’t need to wait for us to
add an
explicit enumeration, since it can also take any four-character string
that’s a FindFolder selector. Get your hands on a copy of Folders.h
(part
of the Master Interfaces) and go nuts.
Look here
/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk/Developer/Headers/CFMCarbon/
CarbonCore/Folde
rs.h
Found this at http://face.centosprime.com/macosxw/applescript-path-to/
I sent a while ago a list with some four-character code for some
folders.
I believe there were some four-character code not in this new list.
But here it is the available and unavailable codes from this most
recent file.
