Hi, Ralpha,
Thank you for the reference, but I am indeed already aware that there
are two Application Support and two Preferences directories. I was
referring to the ones within the user's home folder.
Cheers,
Andrew

I am working on a program that creates a standard preferences
plist, a subdirectory under Application Support, and a folder for
auxiliary data that is downloaded (this last one is placed at the
top level of the user's home directory). I had a couple of
questions:
1. It valid to set up a menu item, for user convenience, to "reset"
the program and move any or all of these to the Trash? I get the
feeling that the answer is No on the first two items, but I'm not
sure about the last one. If the answer to these are "yes, if the
files/directories are in such-and-such a location," then what sort
of location would be valid?
Are you aware that there are both a root level /Library/Application
Support and a per-user ~/Library/Application Support? For what each
is for see:
