Naive Player Questions

[J. Landman Gay]

Specialfolderpath("resources") is especially convenient in another way. In 
a standalone it points to the location of the files that were added to the 
Copy Files pane of the standalone settings. But in the IDE it points to the 
folder containing the current mainstack. If you organize your files on disk 
inside the folder containing the mainstack, you don't need to branch the 
code to provide a full path during development. SpecialFolderPath will work 
the same way in either environment.
