Finding the 'Applications' folder on a Mac

[Mark]

On Mac OS X, user applications are in

"~"& $USER & "/Applications"

Global applications are in

/Applications

On Windows, you use specialfolderpath(38).

My book has an appendix with all folder numbers and names.

If one is running a standalone which has been placed in the Applications folder, then it is possible to start with specialFolderPath(“engine”) and work back to the Applications directory, but I suspect this is fraught with uncertainty. Has anyone a solution?
