Thanks NP,
I learned something new... I had no idea that <app.executableFile>
was available. I did stumble upon a solution of sorts. After thinking
about it for a while, I realized that <f=GetFolderItem("")> returns
the Parent of the Application or Bundle. So if I use <f=GetFolderItem
("").Child("myApp.app").Child("Contents").Child("myFile")>, this will
work. This is a poor way to do this though because if the user
changes the file name of the bundle it will fail. Your approach also
relies on hard coded folderitems but works from the other direction
and the likelihood of directories being renamed inside a bundle is
minimal at best.

I've been constructing my current project in PEF and decided to

is a package (yeah, I know... some of us come to the table later

directory as the application. In the mach-o version I would like to
put this file inside the package. I use f=GetFolderItem("") to
establish the location for this file, how do I modify to reflect a
location inside the package?
If you get app.executableFile that is the location of the actual EXE
that is running
You can use that as the basis of where to locate files
In a package you probably want
app.executableFile.Parent.Parent.Child("Resources")
If you right click a package you can look at the internals layout of
files and folders by selecting "Show Package Contents"
