Just like any other path in RR...

There are some Unix related goodies that you can use.

Like $HOME or $USER

Try this in the msg:

put $HOME

will give the path to your home directory

and

put $USER

will give the username of the currently logged-in user

So you can create a path like in your example:

...
get shell("mkdir" && $HOME & "/Documents/" & "rptition")
...

See also the info about "specialfoldernames" on Ken Rays website!

Not at all ;-)

Hope that helps.
