Subj : Some easy BAJA questions?

So I have my first Synchronet BAJA program almost complete. Along the way I run
into a few possible issues that I need answered.

Are there system variables the directory locations configured in SCFG? My
program opens data files and I would like the files to be stored in the
SBBS/DATA/<MYPROGRAM> folder. I am currently accomplishing this by using
"/sbbs/data/<MYPROGRAM>" (linux path). Would the proper way be to use
"../data/<MYPROGRAM>"? But that leads me to another question... What if the
DATA folder is set to be somewhere else in SCFG?

Is the DATA directory the best place to store files for External Programs or is
there another directory that would be better?

Linux vs. Windows... No not a debate... when working with paths and files...
linux uses "/" while windows uses "\". Do I need to figure out what OS is being
used and use the proper slash or will something interally figure it out?

Thanks for your help. :)
