Whoa, whoa, whoa. Don’t pin that silliness on NeXTstep. :-) NeXTstep has always 
been Unix-based and has always used the type of path we’re used to seeing now. 
The colon separated paths are from Apple’s HFS and were used by MacOS.

The reason you see HFS paths in AppleScript is that it was created by Apple. 
And technically, since we’re still on HFS+, that is the path. It’s just nicely 
obscured by a POSIX path in most contexts.

Everything good about our computers (and our phones, for that matter) comes 
from NeXT, not Apple. :-)
