getting zero k file when using put url binfile in standalone app

[Mike Bonner]

specialfolderpath("engine") is ios and android only. You'll need to check
the running environment and then if its ios use engine if not use another
method. If I recall correctly, "the filename of this stack" gives you the
stack location, set the itemdelimiter to slash, lop off the last item and
go from there. (No mac so can't try it to try and remember the exact
mechanics)
