Get active user folder on macOS X ?

[Matt Denton]

Hey-ya Ludovic

Try this button script:

on mouseUp
   put specialfolderpath ("Preferences") into lUserPath
   set the itemDel to "/"
   answer item 1 to -3 of lUserPath
end mouseUp

... this script assumes that the last two items of the preferences 
folder contain something like "/System/Preferences", which is true in 
the current OSX system... so it works today, as long as Apple keeps 
Preferences in this spot for future OSX versions. The -3 is three items 
from the end.

Bye!
