I've done this, too, as it says, and I've gotten the same problems.

What was meant earlier when someone mentioned using answer folder?  The 
folder definitely doesn't exist.

I'm trying to create a folder and stick a bunch of files into it when a 
user clicks "Save", so having an answer folder solution, though a user 
could create a new folder, doesn't do it as seamlessly as I want it to.

An AppleScript solution would be fine, too, if anyone knows of one.

Thanks,
Karl
