path to the stack?

[Dan Shafer]

Kee....

No clue what might be going on here. IWOMM (It Works On My Machine).  
I can't get that property to return empty no matter what I do EXCEPT  
if I run it before I've saved the stack. Then, of course, it has no  
filename property (or, more accurately, that property is empty).

And, yes, you do need to be aware of pathing issues when you create  
an OS X bundle standalone. Check the docs for filename of stack  
property; there's a cross-platform note there that outlines the issue.
