using stacks on multiple computers

[John Vokey]

Jacqueline,
   I routinely use dynamic path allocation (i.e., relative to the  
stack).  For example, to set the path to the folder "data" in the  
same folder as the stack, I routinely use (in Metacard/RR):
   --
   --  Get/Set Paths
   --
   put the filename of this stack into thePath
   set the itemdelimiter to "/"
   delete the last item of thePath
   put thePath&"/data/" into datapath

But, although this approach works with Metacard and RR, it doesn't  
work with DreamCard (at least, not DreamCard Player); I believe the  
archives of this list document this fact.
