Beste Henk,

You can force the standalone to look into its own folder:

on mouseUp
   set the itemDel to slash
   set the defaultfolder to (item 1 to -2 of the effective filename  
of this stack)
   go stack "Your Stack"
end mouseUp

On Mac OS X you might need to set the defaultfolder to item 1 to -5  
of the effective filename of this stack, depending on where the other  
stacks are located.

You could also change the properties of the shortcuts. Change the  
path called "Start in..." to the path to the standalone. I do not  
completely trust that this works correctly in Revolution though and I  
would recommend setting the defaultFolder.

Groeten,

Mark
