[Mono-osx] How to write files to (and read from) special folders

Dear all,
When I write a file without a path it ends up in the root of my machine.
Code like this :
File.WriteAllText("foo.txt", "This is some text");
creates a file "/foo.txt".
I would like to write into the app folder of my application, maybe by
using some Environment.SpecialFolder enum like I use in a MonoTouch
application. But the available enumerations give me machine-wide paths
like "/Users/Shared".
When I want the open a file that I marked as "Content" in my solution in
MonoDevelop I need to specify the entire path to my bin/Debug directory.
Which of course will not work when I deploy my app.
Apparently the context of my running application is the root. Can I
change that?
Thanks,
Richard
