I should mention that I declare a global myAppsFolder and create the path
with
ON OPENSTACK
  get the filename of stack "Armbase Launcher"
  put it into gMyAppsFolder
  set the itemDel to "/" 
  delete the last item of gMyAppsFolder 
  replace "/" with "\" in gMyAppsFolder
  Put gMyAppsFolder into field "pathtest"
end OPENSTACK

The line  Put gMyAppsFolder into field "pathtest" is only to check in a text
box that the path is working.
