If you're doing a projector, the fileIO xtra has full run of your file system. (Subject to permissions.) If you use it, you can put your file anywhere you want, say, in a subdirectory relative to your projector. If you need to create the subdirectory on the fly, buddy will do that for you.
Using fileIO is a little more work, but gives you a lot of flexibility. Alse, if you write a generic file management parent script, you can pick it up and use it in other projects, so this is a job that really only needs to get coded once. .
