Here's a script that does what you want (I believe).


It does not use hard-coded paths but instead detects the local machine's home folder and appends the rest of the path from there.

Thanks for all this CHris, very generous. And an adapted version works perfectly either from BBEdit or Applescript Editor, so I'm sorted.

[In fact the issue of the home directory is more complex than just disk name so I may have to tinker with that again. [My home directory is not on the same disk as the start up, which is an SSD -- too expensive to use for more than the OS! -- but Dropbox gets very upset as it doesn't understand the redirection that OS X is giving everything else via the Advanced Settings in System Prefs/Users. This means it lives on the start-up in a 'fake' home directory. If that doesn't make sense but you're still interested for curiosity, happy to elaborate privately!)]
