Yes there are potential problems in using "filename"

in fact I just hit on this yesterday. A substack has no "filename"  
property. Thus if you query that property in a preOpenStack handler  
in the main stack and poke it into a global, when you open a substack  
it will insert empty into the global!

dynamically built paths to external files using

  "gMyLocation &"/"& somefile.shtml"

just stopped working for me when the user opened a substack in my app...

I finally realized that gMyLocation was empty!

By using "the effectivefilename" which is the same for a mainstack  
and any of its substacks, you will always return the same value...  
and you don't have to build any workarounds for the fact that  
"filename" for substacks is empty.
