finding the folder of a standalone

[Sarah Reichelt]

In a standalone, use "the address". This returns "computer name:path of
current application".

In development mode, this gives you the path to the Revolution app so you
need to use a different method. Here is the script I use:

if the environment = "development" then
  put word 2 to -1 of the long name of \
    stack (the mainStack of this stack) into appPath
  replace quote with "" in appPath
else
  set the itemDel to ":"
  put item 2 of the address into appPath
end if

This returns the complete path to the application, so you need to strip off
the final section if you just want the folder name.
