  @emre you can create and manage file inside Gideros application (which I think is the best practice), thus it would always be handled in the documents directory.
  
  Of course you can add it as resource with the project and copy it to the documents directory like that:

  local function copy(src, dst) local srcf = io.open(src, "rb") local dstf = io.open(dst, "wb") local size = 2^13 -- good buffer size (8K) while true do local block = srcf:read(size) if not block then break end dstf:write(block) end srcf:close() dstf:close() end local function exists(file) local f = io.open(file, "rb") if f == nil then return false end f:close() return true end if not exists("|D|file.txt") then copy("file.txt", "|D|file.txt") end

  but I don't really see a point in doing so, having copy of information
  
  or if you want to view, what is in your documents directory, on PC or Mac that can be done easily:
  on Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\[YOUR USER NAME]\Local Settings\Temp\gideros\[YOUR APP NAME]
  on Windows Vista and Windows 7: C:\Users\[YOUR USER NAME]\AppData\Local\Temp\gideros\[YOUR APP NAME]
  on Mac OS X: $TMPDIR/gideros/[YOUR APP NAME]

  The idea is, I am try to create a project in which I will create game level files.
