[JW Lua] GetPath on MAC

[Jan Angermüller]

Do you call the script twice? (before and after switching back to Finale)
Or is it one long call of the script during which you switch to another 
application and back?
In the second case you could store the GetPath value temporarily at the 
beginning of the script and use it later.
