ini file question on the Mac

[mfstuart]

Hi Mark,
Yes, I need to store preferences for an application on any of the Mac OS
versions.
This application is a single user standalone application.
So I would need to know the path and filename extension for this preferences
file.

On Windows, I would typically put this preferences file in the same folder
as the executable.
Filename: appname.ini
Would I assume the same on Mac?
Filename: appname.???  --this is where I need the correct filename extension
for the Mac OS.

Regards,
Mark Stuart
