Roger, I agree, but I suppose that the app may create externals that need to be saved in that folder in the course of its being used, so I would leave it alone and include it even though it is empty. Joe Lewis Wilkins Architect On Sep 5, 2011, at 5:31 PM, Roger Eller wrote: > On Mon, Sep 5, 20

newbie question about smartphone apps

Sorry to disappoint. No OT rants about education today. Nor any inquiries about strange LC behavior arising entirely from my own incompetence. I have the vague notion that LC developers are writing smartphone apps. Until ten minutes ago, it never occurred to me that I would attempt such a thing.
