Externally reffed-off

[Mike Bonner]

Change it to..
set the defaultfolder to item 1 to -5 of the effective filename of this

and it should work. I don't have an available mac to test though, so
tweakage might be necessary. (not likely though its pretty
straightforward)

You can put it in an if block if you want so that if the environment is
development you use the first method, else you use the second.
