What's the correct syntax for specifying a relative file reference to a file that is one level *higher* than the current file?

I figured out how to go deeper (file:dataFolder/data.fm7), but if I'm in the data.fm7 file, how do I reference a file in the folder one level up? I tried file:/interface.fm7 (and also with a dbl. //), but that doesn't seem to work.

This is primarily Win, but eventually need to go cross-platform to Mac.

Thanks,

In OS X, the syntax is file:../Myfile.fp7. If you try putting the files in their relative directories and manually selecting the file reference through the open dialog, it should fill in the relative path for you.

Thanks. I knew it was something like that. I need to change a number of references already created, so letting FM doing it with Browse doesn't help (though if I'd thought, I could have created a new ref. and seen what was entered...).
