Where to store read/write files on multi-user systems

Referring to MAC OS X I think this is fine:

> specialFolderPath("pref")
> * Shared files writable by everyone (2 and 3)- /Users/Shared/MYAPP
> specialFolderPath("sdat")

However, you have to set permission accordingly.  As far as I know 
there is not a way to set permissions from Revolution when you create a 
file....  (right?) .. so you can have  problems to read/write files 
created by an other user.

Actually I am facing the same problem.
I wrote an application for MAC OS X and it works only for the 
administrator. (I stored data in a folder placed next to the 
application file  into the application folder...which is not right). 
When I started to plan this project I was not fully aware of this 
problem. Be aware MACOS X is multi user.... so also applications 
created with revolution must be Multi-user!
