using stacks on multiple computers

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.
