title: Using "~" with a POSIX path in AppleScript
body: <p>How can I use the <code>~</code> in the following AppleScript?</p>
  
  <pre><code>info for POSIX path of "Users/[User]/Pictures"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The script should be universal, but if I replace <code>Users/[User]</code> with <code>~</code>, so that the script looks like that</p>
  
  <pre><code>info for POSIX path of "~/Pictures"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I'm getting an error that the directory is not available.</p>
  
  <p>I'm thankful for help.</p>
