I am missing something  very basic.

Goal: A standalone needs to save start up data--but cannot do so except on a
Mac, solution: write preference files to disk

on mouseUp
 put the directory & "proxyPrefs.txt" into tPath
  put tPath into msg
  put "204.148.111.2" & ":"& "8080" into url ("file:"&tPath)
end mouseUp

The above works, but, if I try to add a sub-directory to the path:

on mouseUp
 put the directory & "/data/proxyPrefs.txt" into tPath
  put tPath into msg
  put "204.148.111.2" & ":"& "8080" into url ("file:"&tPath)
end mouseUp

this doesn't work. Why?

Later I would write multiple preferences to multiple lines in a single file.


Any insights, not only to the above problem but to saving preferences in
general will be appreciated. Thanks
