If it's on a CD-ROM, you could include Acrobat Reader on the CD, where you
know the pathname. If this is running from a HD, no such luck.
Lingo alone can't search a hard drive. You could use another xtra, like
fileXtra3 (free, but a whole lot of effort to use for this) or masterApp.
But, I think the Buddy way is the best way - baOpenFile("path") is short and
sweet - it does all of the "app finding" for you.
