In this example, "engine-path" is not defined. Try something like this:

  put ("file:"&  specialFolderPath(“engine”)&  slash&  "file1.txt") into 
tPath
  answer "File exists:" && there is a file tPath -- confirms existence
  if there is a file tPath then
    put url tPath into tData
    put tData into fld 1 -- or whatever you want to do with it
  end if

Make sure you include a file named "file1.txt" in the Copy Files pane of 
the standalone builder.
