On a related subject of colon separated AppleScript paths, how does one 
get the name of the root disk for generating absolute  OS 9 style 
(colon separated) paths?  The abspath function from the macpath module 
doesn't work under OS X , because it uses os.getcwd() which returns a 
"/" delimited path.  Are some nice functions that someone has written 
that can convert between the two path styles under OS X?
