[Hidden-tech] AppleScript Question

[Will Loving]

I have a small AppleScript question that I'm hoping someone can answer. I
have a small executable AppleScript that launches a Java application. There
is a file path specified in the executable that I would like to make
variable via a text file that will reside in the same directory as the
executable. 

Is it possible to use a variable for the path in the AppleScript and have it
look to the text file where the variable is declared?

The AppleScript is very simple and looks like this:

tell application "Terminal"
    do script "java -Xmx256m -classpath '/bclive/Auction
Files/Java:/bclive/Auction Files/Java/AuctionManager.jar' manager.Main"
end tell

I want to be able to set the path in the text file named something like
"JavaPath.txt" rather than have to edit the executable AppleScript every
time I want to change it.

Anyone know?

Thanks,

Will
