An AppleScript GUI app for Mail and Entourage backups
Authored by: kainewynd2 on Nov 04, '05 06:30:06AM

I had major problems getting the ~ to be recognized as a valid applescript shell script usage. That is why I put in the user variable to take it's value from the result of:
[code]
do shell script "echo $USER"
[/code]

This allowed me to point to those absolute paths without ~

Hopefully this helps you in your development.
