Random possible parts to help your puzzle:

1) the default folder returned by the CGI  will be:  the 
cgi-executables.. as you have seen.

2) *but* the "default folder" which apache uses to serving files is:

DocumentRoot "/Library/WebServer/Documents"

and you don't need to declare that pathin your html

in your cgi's you need write files out with a full path from  root or a 
relative path like this:

3) Root relative URL will *not work* on OSX unless you do some special 
configurations..
(means you are using Apples Server Admin tool or you are a cmd line 
wizard who can
edit httpd.conf and really know what he is doing..

i.e. you cannot do:

src="/SomeNewCoolSiteArea/*.html"

You have to

3) put tHtmlCode into url ("file:../Documents/RevTips.html")

4) typically I will declare the default folder where my CGI is to be 
reading and writing files from right away at the top of the cgi

set the defaultFolder to "../Documents/SomeNewCoolSiteArea/"

5) Now you simple read and write files to 

put someHTML into url "frames.html

6) then in your html you have

<a href="SomeNewCoolSiteArea/frames.html">
