Confused

[Thomas McGrath III]

Correction:

on openStack
	put applicationFolder() into AppPathMusic
	put "MusicFolder/" after AppPathMusic
	put AppPathMusic
	-- Now you can do what you want with looking up the .aiff files and  
you can be sure the path is correct to those files
	-- Access the .aiff files with AppPathMusic

	-- You can also use this for other sub-folders in your folder
	put applicationFolder() into AppPathImages
	put "Images/" after AppPathImages
end openStack
