Where's the file?

[Tim Ponn]

Hello all...

This strikes me as odd.  I frequently use text files as containers of  
data (prefs, and the like) in my stacks.  On openStack, I put the path  
of the folder containing the stack into a global so I can use it  
later.  Not a problem when I'm running as a stack...text files are  
created and modified as expected during use (I use get/put URL).

put "Whatever" into url ("file:"&appFolderPath&"HereIAm.txt")
get url ("file:"&appFolderPath&"HereIAm.txt")

When I open the text file later with a text editor, I see what I  
expect to see.

However, when I make a standalone app of the stack, I no longer see  
the text files in the folder.  Are these text files being set as  
"invisible" in the finder?

I'm running Enterprise 2.8.1 in OSX 10.5.6.
