[Tutor] Relative Paths

[Lloyd Kvam]

filepath = os.path.join('Database','Coordinates.txt')

filepath will have a relative path that will work from
r'c:\Student\PYTH'

While forward slashes will usually work within Windows, it can confues
people if the path appears in an error message.  os.path will do the
right thing should you upgrade to Linux and keep a similar directory
structure.
