obtaining application paths

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Jim,

Finding the right application can be a problem, if you have multiple  
copies of the application on your hard disk. You probably have  
multiple copies of Revolution in your applications folder. Which one  
do you want to pick, why that one and why do you need that particular  
file?

On Mac OS X machines, it might be easier to use shell("locate  
revdb.so") to find all copies of that particular file, but I don't  
know whether this suits your needs.
