[ZDP] default location for writing files

[Adrian Graham]

I am currently working through "A Technical Introduction to Object
Publishing with Zope" and unfortunately am having problems with the
example code for saving visitors' comments to a text file (I've included
the example code below). It isn't clear to me is where the file
"feedback_data" is being written if no explicit path is given (It
doesn't appear to be the same directory as the Python code). Since I do
not know where this file is located (or will be located) I don't know
where I should set the permissions to give write access to the Zope user
-- therefore the program doesn't work.

Any clarifications would be greatly appreciated.

Much thanks,

Adrian Graham
