Hello folks,

I wrote script to save a text file to specialFolderPath("Preferences")  and then reference it on subsequent startups.  I had planned to write an alternative bit of script for Windows using specialFolderPath(26), but hadn't quite got round to it.

I am using Rev Studio on Mac, so I have to build check, build check etc. on Windows.  I built to check something else on Windows, only to find that the specialFolderPath("Preferences") script seems to be working.  (It's usually things I expect to work, not working, not the other way around, so this was an unusual experience).

The file was saved, and found on subsequent startups.  So is specialFolderPath("Preferences") cross platform?  If so, where is it?  I tried searching for my file but couldn't find it.
