I"m hoping Trevor won't mind me sharing this little snippet of code:
FUNCTION getPathToFile pFile
put the filename of this stack into the theFile
set the itemdelimiter to slash
put pFile into the last item of theFile
return theFile
END getPathToFile
To use:
put getPathFile(filename you want to launch) into tFile
launch tFile
That should do it.
