I think you are going to want to use the system variables to point to 
the users My Documents directory, without hard coding any assumptions 
about where that actually is. Otherwise you will always run into 
permissions problems not being able to write to dirs you used to be able to.

%USERPROFILE%\My Documents\foo.txt

Which would probably look like this in a filepro prc table (I'm not 
using windows filepro so I can't double-check it):

x = chr("92")
tf = getenv("USERPROFILE"){x{"My Documents"{x{"foo.txt"

or add quotes around the whole string because of the space in My Documents:

tf = "\""getenv("USERPROFILE"){x{"My Documents"{x{"foo.txt\""
