I just don't like all those '.' invisible files cluttering up my home directory :-) Howzabout a two-level solution? For those files that would be reasonable to expect the user to edit or want to see: ~/Library/AppName/junkfiles Otherwise, for files that should be invisible: ~/Library/.AppName/junkfiles Of course, if an application already has visible files available, then it should be: ~/Library/AppName/visibleJunk ~/Library/AppName/.junkfiles Just don't clutter up my root home directory. It's enough of a mess as it is! Scott Byer NeXTMail: byer@adobe.com Adobe Systems Incorporated These are *my* opinions, and 1585 Charleston Road, P.O.
