Subject: stand alone icon for mac, slight improvement

I have tweeked the source code for the stand alone version of Icon
for the macintosh. The original uses the directory in which the
APPLICATION is located as the default directory, for the icon
"open" statement, etc.. Effectively, this means that ALL your data
files must be in the same directory (folder) as the application, or that you
must move the application from directory to directory. To me, at least, it is
more intuitive if the directory in which the code file (the PROGRAM) is
located is used as the default directory. I have programmed around this
problem. If anyone wants the modified interpreter posted to the ftp site,
mail me, and I will do what I can to take care of it. Since I had to modify
the source code for console.c, which is part of the ThinkC package, I cannot
post the source code, though if you own ThinkC 5 then I can work something
out with you if you want.
