Here's Trevor's code that he posted to this list about a year ago (which was
a modified and enhanced form of some code I'd started):

/**
  * Opens a folder on the desktop. (Modified from Ken Ray's example)
  *
  * @param  pPath    Path to folder to open.
  */
on libSys_OpenFolder pPath
  switch (the platform)
    case "Win32"
      replace "/" with "\" in pPath
      set the hideConsoleWindows to true
      get shell("explorer.exe /root,"& quote & pPath & quote)
      break
    case "MacOS"
      if the systemVersion >= 10 then
        get shell("open " & quote & pPath & quote)
      else
        put "tell application " & quote & "Finder" & quote & cr & \
        "activate" & cr & \
        "open folder " & quote & revMacFromUnixPath(pPath) & quote & cr & \
        "end tell" into tScript
        do tScript as "AppleScript"
      end if
      break
  end switch
end libSys_OpenFolder
