Path to TXT?

Hey all. I am trying to create a new flasher that loads the news from an external .txt file. It seems very simple, but nowhere can I find how to path my news ticker to my external file. I am using one of the tutorials on Kirupa.com.

Here’s the link: http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/newsflasher.htm

I am getting stuck near the end where it reads:

“-- PATH TO TXT: ‘set a path to your external TXT’”

Any help would be appreciated.
