Personally I would use the budapi xtra...say you want to store the text file
on the desktop
buddy = new(xtra "budapi")
-- say you want the text file on the desktop
tDesktop = baSysFolder("desktop")
-- now you've got the desktop folder regardless of platform/drives
you can use the fileio now to create the file at tDesktop &
"yourfilename.txt"
But with the crossplatform thing, best thing is:
tFileChar = the last char of the moviepath -- ":" for mac, "\" for win
