Linux Filepath problem

Hello all!
I'm developing on Mac OS9.2.2, RunRev2.0.3 for multiple platform
distribution...
One of the first things I do in my app (on openstack) is to:
on openStack
global warming -- :-)
set the itemDelimiter to "/"
put (item 1 to -2 of the effective filename of this stack)&"/" into
line 26 of warming
This puts the pathname into a global, which is used for MANY file
functions (put "blah" into url...get url...etc) in my app. I've found
it to be a handy way for me to look for various cfg files I've placed in
the same folder with the app. If the user moves a cfg file out of the
folder, I have a function that rebuilds it and puts it where it should be.
So...on the mac and win...no problems. But on my Linux build, it puts
"./" into the global. What gives here? Any Linux lovers know a
work-around? Any special ways to use "effective filename of this stack"
to get the explicit path name?
Thanks for any assistance you can lend!
Best Regards,
Tim Ponn
