First of all, you can't save data in a standalone. I assume you

It's a synonym for defaultFolder, as is folder -- and indeed is documented
as such, at least in Beta 4.
Hi Richmond,
Directory is a synonym for folder (and defaultFolder).
Actually, Mac people are used to use 'folder' when Win people prefer
use the word 'directory':
answer folder...
answer directory...
So all may be satisfied:
Just choose your side ;-)

Richmond is right, there is no entry for directory, only for
