[JW Lua] Open external file

[Jari Williamsson]

Javier,

The FCString:SetRunningLuaFolderPath() method (added in beta 0.30) will 
get the home folder for the current script. However, it requires that 
the script has been saved to disk so a script file name is available to 
JW Lua.

There are also a couple of other Set methods in the FCString class that 
will point to other folders within the Finale configuration.


Best regards,

Jari Williamsson
