[Xerte] Xerte3: on Mac?

Fri Jul 2 10:50:03 BST 2010

Standard, as far as I know is

\Users\NameOfTheUser\Documents, but I guess there should be something like a var in Zinc for that? (Because it could perhaps differ in different language versions?)

Does this answer your question?

Sorry, today's my free day, I'll only look sporadically at emails.
