you want me to look into it.

Thanks Graham, I am testing this but I don't have a Windows box (yet)
so I can only test on Parallels in Windows XP but the results do look
promising. Problem is I need to know for sure.
Thanks again

I think it's OK if you haven't got a sandbox situation to deal with,
but I'm not 100% sure - but a quick experiment would prove it. I can do
this, but not right now, so maybe it's better to experiment yourself.

Graham,
Thanks for the reply.I was looking at the preferences or documents
folder due to permission issues but I am just not sure if I use my apps
Support folder if another application can write to it? Or is the support
folder able to be accessed from both apps? Do you know?
Thanks

Tom, unless I've misunderstood what you need, why not use the
specialFolderPath("support") path? These are paths that can be written to
by an application on both platforms. It's easy to see what the path
actually is, so you can tell the low level application. I'm using this
approach for somewhere to put a data stack (a stack that can be saved at
runtime) on a two-platform app and it works for me.

I am working on a cross-platform (Mac/Windows) app and I had to
hire out for a low level application to be written that will trap 'all' key
events on both platforms. Pretty straight forward. It timestamps and writes
the key or keys that were hit out to a file that I in turn look for changes
to from within LC. The key trapper will have it's own installer and I need
to tell it where to write to before it is built.
My question is where is the best place to write this file to on a
Mac? on a PC?
I am not going through the Mac App store but I don't want to run
into problems with permissions etc. once deployed.
I am searching online now but there is a lot of gobble goop that is
not pertinent.
Any help or ideas are appreciated.
