Scope Problem on Standalones

The thing is that, I could test for that, but what is stranger is that:

So, it looks like simple delete and put statements are not working in 
a standalone!

Yes, tried effective filename too

 From the RunRev Online Documentation for file name of stack property:

  Cross-platform note:  On OS X systems, standalone applications are 
stored as application bundles. A bundle behaves like a file but is 
actually a folder, and the main stack of a standalone application is 
inside this folder. The filename of stack property reports the 
location of the application inside the bundle, not the bundle's 
location. For example, if the bundle's file path is 
"/Volumes/Disk/MyApp.app/", the filename of the application's main 
stack might be "/Volumes/Disk/MyApp.app/Contents/MacOS/MyApp".

So, either there is a bug in RunRev or a Bug in the doumentation!

Anyway with *any* ideas of how to track this down however crazy it 
may seem, please do let me know. I have managed to get an extension 
on my deadline til Wednesday, but this just seems completely 
unsoveable at the moment. If you can't tell the folder that the 
current .rev file is running in when in a standalone, then I really 
don't know what to do.

All the Best
