Hi folks,

I know this discussion pops up here from time to time, but I can't find what I 
remember seeing. I checked Nabble, but no luck.

For desktop applications, where can our applications legally write to for the 
three main OS's? I'm not talking about sandboxing for Mac App Store apps, just 
the normal place for writing application files.

For Mac OS X I assume: /Users/myuser/Library/Application Support.

For Windows XP/Vista/7: Something like C:/Documents and Settings/myuser/My 
Documents

For Linux: No idea!

Are any of these derivable from specialFolderPath()? I checked Ken Ray's site 
(http://www.sonsothunder.com/devres/livecode/tips/file010.htm) but don't find 
exactly what I'm looking for there, plus I'm not sure it's 100% up to date.

Any tips?

Thanks,

Devin
