There is not a server, just a bunch of machines networked together 
(peer-to-peer).
So the application's files are loaded on one machine (in a shared directory).

To run from a different machine, I connect to the shared drive, and then 
double-click the program file.

I have 2 code library files (stacks) that sit in a sub-directory of the 
program, and are required for the program to run. I use a relative path, 
derived from the filename property of the main application stack to "load" 
them (i.e., "start using stack ..."). Scott Raney thought it was possible 
that these may not be found since it is running remotely. Do you have any 
experience referencing external files from a shared drive? Unfortunately, I 
don't have access to a similar setup of Macs here for me to test and debug 
on (it is a school computer lab).

Ray, I appreciate your help and welcome any other ideas or experiences that 
you think would be useful.

Thanks,
Leston
