Needed: a convention to indicate a path for Windows, Linux, and Mac

["Leonard C. Porrello" <Leonard -dot- Porrello -at- SoleraTec -dot- com>]

The applications I am documenting runs on Windows, Linux, and Mac. In
several places, I need to indicate to users that the files they need are
located at the application installation location on the hard drive. In
Windows, this is "c:/Program files/Product_Name/Folder/File.cfg". In
Linux, the path is different, starting from the fact that there is no
"c:".

I need a convention to indicate path prior to
"/Product_Name/Folder/File.cfg". The convention needs to work for
Windows, Linux, and Mac.

I currently have ellipses (".../Product_Name/Folder"), but my
development lead tells me that this won't do as ellipses are sometimes
used literally. Does anyone have any other ideas?

Thanks!
