Hi Richard,
Here's one way:
-- button script
on mouseUp
put ($HOME & "/Library") into tTargetFolder
set the defaultFolder to tTargetFolder
put the files into fld 1
end mouseUp
"$HOME" is an environment variable - always there, no need to
define it.
Here's another approach:
put put specialFolderPath("cusr") & "/Library" into tTargetFolder
set the defaultFolder to tTargetFolder
put the files into fld "LibContents"
Also, for a quick lookup of specialFolderPath codes, see my tip on
the subject:
http://www.sonsothunder.com/devres/revolution/tips/file010.htm
A perusal of Apple's complete list of folder constants at <http://
developer.apple.com/documentation/Carbon/Reference/Folder_Manager/
Reference/reference.html#//apple_ref/c/tdef/FolderType> (the URL
cited in the specialFolderPath Rev dictionary entry) shows that Apple
may have added a few since you put your reference together, Ken. They
include useful ones like:
cusr - the current user's home folder
sdat - the shared user data folder (usually /Users/Shared in OSX)
pubb - the current user's public folder
ssnd - the system sounds folder
info - the Documentation folder
wcmp - the QuickTime components folder
There are probably more nuggets there to be discovered. 8^)
