I don't know much about Windows . . . but,
on Macintosh machines and PCs running Linux there is often a folder called
"Shared" or somesuch alongside all the user directories: might this not
be the place to write a pref file that is going to be shared by all users?

The challenge is to write a pref file to a non-user directory so the file is
available to all users in a lab setting.

In attempting to create this folder in MacOS:

Why the error?
All file I/O is best accompanied with an error check. If that includes a call
to sysError you'll see exactly what the OS is trying to tell you.
create folder tURL
if the result is not empty then
answer the result &" ("& sysError() &")"
exit to top
end if
I'd wager permissions. /Library is a system folder. /Users/<username>/Library
should be writable, though.
