Actually, Applescript is not quite as easy as replacing the "/"

The root drive expression is different
------ main hard drive ----------------------------
/Users/jault/Documents/FinkCommander.app/

Tiger130:Users:jault:Documents:FinkCommander.app:

---------mounted drive ---------------------
/Volumes/mainHDG5/Users/jault/Documents/web/PShopErrorsLog.txt

mainHDG5:Users:jault:Documents:web:PShopErrorsLog.txt
-----------------------
Applescript always uses the drive name, Unix does not unless it is a mounted
drive, then it follows "Volumes/"
