File name of stack weirdness

[Chris Carroll-Davis]

Klaus -

Thanks for looking at this.  The problem I have is not the end of the  
string (bundle path) but the beginning!  On my G5 it correctly  
returns "/Volumes/Hard_Disk_Name/...", but on G3 it starts with the  
application root, i.e. it doesn't return the full path to the HD root.

The app happily works without this full path, but the problem is, I  
need to pass the full path to another (SuperCard) app.

!?!
