Finding application Path

[Rob T]

I want to write a file into the directory my application is installed into.
If I just write the file without a path, it will go to the user's working
directory (ie, where he opened a file from). How can I get the path that the
application is installed into? I thought there was a way to get the full
path of the application, but I could not find a way.

Thanks,
Rob
