Re-reading the answers here and the information in the dictionary for the 'specialFolderPath' - and after some more Googling - I have gathered the following info, which may or may not be correct:
1) MacOS X
Prefs Location: specialFolderPath("Home") & "/Library/Application Support/MyApp/"
Prefs Name: anything you wish
2) Windows
Prefs Location: specialFolderPath("0x001a") & "/MyApp/"
Prefs Name: anything you wish
3) Linux
Prefs Location: there does not seem to be a 'standard', but several programs seem to take the approach of creating a hidden folder in the user's home directory - specialFolderPath("Home") & "/.myapp/"
Prefs Name: anything you wish
4) iOS
Prefs Location: specialFolderPath("library") & "/MyAppBundleID/" - Apple requires you to use the application's bundle id
Prefs Name: anything you wish
5) Android
Prefs Location: ???
Prefs Name: ???
If anybody could confirm/correct the information above, I would be most grateful.
Kind regards to all,
