Where is applications folder on OSX

[Richard Miller]

Thanks, Sarah.

However, I don't believe one can "put" a filename into a player object 
and still have it be a player, rather than a videoclip object.

I've resolved the issue for now by combining "line 1 of the volumes" 
with specialfolderpath("apps") under OSX. Hopefully, this produces a 
reliable "long path" to a video.
