Thanks Malte! I'm looking to find the folder where the application
lives on the U3 drive...Did you find an ENVIRONMENT VARIABLE for that?

Thanks again,
Chipp

Hi all (and specially Chipp),

here is what I found with help from the mothership (thanks Marcus)

on mouseUp
   put $U3_APP_DATA_PATH into tPath
   replace "\" with "/" in tPath
   put "/test.txt" after tPath
   put "this is a test" into URL ("file:"&tPath)
   answer the result & cr & URL ("file:"&tPath) & cr & there is a
file tPath & cr & tPath
end mouseUp

This way the data ends up in the /app/data folder on the u3 drive.
Somehow it failed when I used "file://" no idea why.

Another script that I find handy is this (which I wrote in my
frustration about the meager specs)

on mouseUp
   repeat for each item theItem in the globals
     if "U3" is in theItem then
       put theItem && value (theItem) & cr after allU3Vars
     end if
   end repeat
   put allU3Vars
end mouseUp

Interesting what one can find out about the drive. ;-)

Hope this is of any help,

Malte
