Brian,

I looked at the thread you mentioned but still am not sure how to do this.

Get the path to which my app is currently at.
Use the Open "unix" cmd to open a file within the path that was found.

Thanks,

Tom

Try looking for this in the archive and then use LSOpenFSRef ( or LSOpenCFURLRef if that is what you have after building the ref ).  Usually, it is good to post:
