put (specialFolderPath("asup") & "/Test") into tSupportFolder create folder tSupportFolder
This works under Snow Leopard if you are a logged-in admin user without error, and it assigns the currently logged-in user as the owner of the folder. In Lion, you get a "can't create that directory" error in the result. The workaround is to prompt for a password via AppleScript: put "do shell script" && quote & "mkdir '" & tSupportFolder & \ "'" & quote && "with administrator privileges" into tScript do tScript as "AppleScript" if the result <> (quote & quote) then -- report the AppleScript error end if Note that the resulting folder is owned by 'system' not the logged-in user, so you'll need to 'chmod' and 'chown' if you want to set the privileges back to what it was pre-Lion.
