For Windows somebody wrote me a routine in which I could read special folders.

Like

SpecialFolder($0001) = "C:\Documents and Settings\Tricky\My Documents"

Very handy, especially since the names of such folders could differ when somebody uses Windows in a foreign Language.


Now my question is, is there a possibility to do the same with the special folders of MacOS, since in MacOS too the names of folders do differ on MacOS when you have a foreign language. For example I know that the "/Applications" folder is called "/Programma's" in the Dutch version of MacOS.

So if somebody knows a BMax routine in which I can check all special Folders MacOS uses, I would be really grateful if you want to share its code with me.

Thanks a lot.
