Suppose you have a .rev stack file and in it's folder, you have a 
sub-folder called "Images" containing "image.png". To load that image 
while in the IDE, you could use this script:

   put the fileName of this stack into tFile
   set the itemDel to "/"
   put "Images/image.png" into last item of tFile
   set the fileName of image 1 to tFile

When an OS X bundle is built, what looks like an application file is 
actually a special sort of folder. Right-click / control-click on the 
application icon and choose "Show Package Contents" from the contextual 
menu.

You will see a single folder called "Contents". Open that and you will 
see two more folders plus three other files. Open the "MacOS" folder 
and you will find a file called "Revolution". This is your actual 
application and the file containing your stacks. If you copy your 
Images folder into the MacOS folder in the bundle, it will be 
accessible using the exact same script as when in the IDE. Plus, your 
images and any other external files you might want to access, are all 
hidden neatly inside the bundle, allowing drag & drop installation.

None of this is affected by changing the name of the actual bundle.

It is a bit more trouble than hard-wiring file paths, but it pays off 
in the end as it allows a lot more code-reuse and flexibility.

That's fine, so long as you don't want to hide anything inside the 
bundle.

Well done.
