easy externals question

[FlexibleLearning at aol.com]

Thanks Chipp and Brian... I think I didn't clarify very well.
 
'the externals' can easily be set, using relative or calculated paths. This  
is not a problem. What I find strange is that the stack has to be closed and  
re-opened for the externals to 'fix' and so make the externals available for  
use.
 
I discovered that we can "set the externals of stack tStackFilePath to  
tExternalFilePath" from another stackFile. When opened, tStackFilePath works on  
first time launch.
 
Perhaps a sub-stack can have its externals set when the mainStack launches,  
and when the subStack opens it is ready to go. Dunno. I'll try this  approach 
also.

I would try setting a  relative path to your externals- then there 
should be no need to reset the  paths. Or is there a reason that you 
would need to change even the  relative path?
