This what I ended up with;

<script>
set scansFolder to alias "Macintosh HD:Users:rpoland:Desktop:scans~ƒ"
tell application "Finder"
	activate
	set windowList to name of Finder windows as text
	# display dialog windowList
	if windowList contains "scan" then
		close window "scans~ƒ"
	else
		open folder scansFolder
	end if
end tell
</script>

I would like to use “~/“ in set scansFolder but I’m missing something.
