Saving Data in Standalones

[Mark Schonewille]

Pete,

Probably, you log in on your Mac with admin privileges. That gives you  
write access to the applications folder. The guest account (Mac OS X  
10.5 and later) and limited accounts don't have write access for the  
applications folder and several other folders. That's why you should  
avoid writing to those folders.
