Actually this didn't work the way I had hoped:
put "$HOME" & "/Applications/" into t
set the itemDel to "/"
get item 2 to 4 of (t)
answer it
This does not deliver the actual system variable :(
Is there a way to do this?

Simply putting $HOME in brackets will get it evaluated.
OTOH, you could also use the specialFolderPath function:
get specialFolderPath("Applications")

Sorry if this has been answered many times, I couldn't find it.
My noob brain is twisted...
Let's say a stored destination file path is:
$HOME,/Applications/
But if you say:
item 1 of tFilePath & item 2 of tFilePath, instead of what you want:
/Users/Eggbert/Applications
you get literally:
"$HOME/Applications"

I know you could make a series of case statements:
case item 1 of tFilePath = "$HOME" then put $HOME & item 2 of
tFilePath into tFilePath
and cover all the other specialFolders and other possibilities,
but that is lame, right?
