As Richmond might ask, "both"?

There are three major desktop OSes. :)

For those who include the roughly 50 million Linux desktop users in 
their deployments, calling xdg-open with the shell function does the trick:

on mouseUp
    put specialFolderPath("desktop") into tFolder
    get shell("xdg-open "&quote& tFolder &quote)
end mouseUp
