Hi Jason,

From the app:
set the itemDelimiter to "/"
get the effective fileName of me
put "images" into item -1 of it
put "/" after it
answer file "Choose a file:" with it
Note: For this to work for compiled Mac OSX standalones, the images
folder must reside _inside_ the application bundle, not in the folder
containing the application bundle.
