"set the externals of this stack" just sets a customProperty of the
stack. If you made a typo when entering it or if the dll is actually
in a different place you won't get an error, since it's just a string.
However, you *will* get an empty result when you try to get the
externalCommands. What I do is

answer file "Where is the external dll?"
if it is not empty then
  set the externals of this stack to it
end if

and then navigate your way down to where the dll lives. See if that
helps.
