OSX resource folder

Not having OSX, only attempting to develop for it (to the 
consternation of many here), the only file created when I build for 
OSX is a standalone file of my app.  No folders, no Mach file, nada. 
I am building these things from scratch.  Taking pieces from 
Metacard's own OSX folder, changing what needs to be changed, and 
inserting into my created OSX folders.

No files outside of the app are created anywhere on my hard drive. 
That's why I had no idea they existed initially.  I assumed that the 
standalone builder would do what needed to be done.

The program actually works on OSX without any of these files.  But 
has a few anomolies regarding icons and such.  I intend to remedy 
this.

Good news is, I only have to go thru this process once.  From here 
forward, I will have a recipe to follow for future apps, and will add 
this info to the article for others who have not yet purchased OSX 
but would like to develop for it.

Just wait til I tackle Windoze :-)
