  11. I have several Rich Text documents I want to include in my  
  12. application and, at appropriate points, load them into Scrollviews.
  13.  
  14. I have two questions:
  15.  
  16. 1.  How do I "include" these supporting files into my resulting .app  
  17. file so they are always there? (I'm using Project Builder)
  18.  
  19. 2.  When I want to load the file, how can I reference the file in my  
  20. application as a relative path starting where ever the .app file is  
  21. located?  Right now I'm just specifying an absolute path to load the  
  22. file.
  23.  
  24. Is there something similar to the home directory ~/ reference for an  
  25. application?  I suppose I could always get the current working  
  26. directory and do it the hard way.
  27.  
  28. Thanks for any help.
