OK - I just tried out smartcrumbs to check it out. Not quite sure what's 
going on here. Outsmarted by smartcrumbs.

According to the lesson you just drag this onto a stack.
Nope.
Click the "Export Stack" button.
Stack flickers.
Did anything happen?
According to the dictionary there's an scGetPathLog().
Maybe that will give me a clue.
/My LiveCode/SmartCrumbsVCW/logs//2022-08-29
Eh?
What's this "/My LiveCode" thing? I don't have one of those.
And why is it trying to store that off my root directory?
Let's try that one again.
"Recursion limit reached"
I'll try scExportStack from the message box.
It gives "can't find handler"

OK - back to real work.
