  I don't wish to restrict where I might navigate to and
  subsequently grab a directory path. 
  
  I would not likely use ~/ or anything above...

  currently the specific application would be to change or
  add paths under something like ~/prj/emacs-desktops where
  project-specific desktop files are located.

  Although the application is currently of limited scope, it could
  expand, but not by much. I'm a retired programmer and just trying
  to keep my brain from atropyhing ...

  cheers
