The getOSDirectory() method is a global handler which you can use in
lingo without creating a child object. e.g.:
set systemPath = getOSDirectory()
One gotcha is that on the Mac the method returns a string with a path
delimiter at the end whereas the PC doesn't. e.g.:
put getOSDirectory()
-- "Macintosh HD:System Folder:"
put getOSDirectory()
-- "C:\WINDOWS"
