AW: AW: where do I find the temp folder on a Mac?

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Tiemo,

Normally, you have permissions to read from and write to the temp  
folder. I prefer to avoid Revolution's specialfolderpath function. It  
often gives unreliable or unexpected results. On the Mac, use "/tmp",  
on Windows use $TEMP (this variable should be visible in the global  
variables pane of the message box).
