Is this running from a substack? What happens if you use "the
effective filename"?

Here is my handler for finding the folder, which work in either the
IDE (finding the .rev file) or in a standalone (finding the .app).

function applicationFolder
  put the effective filename of this stack into tFull
  put empty into tFolder
  set the itemdel to "/"
  repeat for each item i in tFull
    if i contains ".app" or i contains ".rev" then exit repeat
    put i & "/" after tFolder
  end repeat
  return tFolder
end applicationFolder
