I'm pretty sure that this is pretty basic and simple, and that I should know this, but can someone tell me how exactly to set the directory for a readme so that it is always relative to the location of the .exe? I think it might have to do with Appdrive$ or Apppath$. I'm using MMF2.

Youre on the right track!!
When asked for the directory you can use this code.
Appdrive$+Appdir$+"name of your file"

You should use $apppath as of MMF2.

If you aren't sure of what I'm talking about, it is the field in red.
I tried both of your suggestions, but neither one works.

aha...
I think mmf/tgf automatically put the readme file in the gamedir when you install the game.
This box is just so mmf should know witch doc to use.
or am i wrong..??
sorry, for my bad english! (maybe )

Ah. Enter the filename relative to the .exe file. Be sure to include it in the zip/installer.

Still confused... so if my file is in, say C:\Users\John\Documents, and the readme's filename is readme.txt in the same folder, then what exactly should I type?

Then you should type C:\Users\John\Documents\readme.txt
When your game is finnished make sure to include that readme file in the zip file or installer.

Am I the only person who gave up, removed all the clickteam built in menus, and reprogrammed them from the ground up on my own? >

Type readme.txt and MMF should look in the game's own folder. Edited by the Author.

I haven't tried it, but I assume Ben's answer is correct. Why don't you just try a few things and see which one works?
