I'm trying to write this scrap of Applescript in Python appscript:

  on run
        tell application "Microsoft PowerPoint"
                set this_item to path of active presentation
        end tell
        set unix_item to POSIX path of this_item
        display dialog of unix_item
  end run

which yields "/tilde/janssen/Documents", an NFS-mounted location.

I've got this:

  from appscript import *
  from mactypes import *
  print File.makewithhfspath(app("Microsoft 
PowerPoint").active_presentation.path()).path

However, in this case, I get "/janssen/Documents", which is wrong.

So, how do I get the effect of "POSIX path of" in appscriptpt?

This is appscript 0.19.0 on 10.5.6, with /usr/bin/python.

Bill
