i tried changing

make new alias file @ container window posix file "/applications" properties {name:"applications"}

to

make new alias file @ container window posix file "~/applications" properties {name:"applications"}

and

make new alias file @ container window posix file "$home/applications" properties {name:"applications"}

but no luck!

you can if specify:

path applications folder user domain 

so in script this:

set apphome path applications folder user domain make new alias file @ container window apphome properties {name:"applications"} 

*when using path applications folder user domain posix file not needed.
