When you use "URL", you need to be sure that the expression following it 
is a single expression - it's safest to parenthesize it, as in

   put compress(URL ("file:" & the effective filename of this stack)) 
into url myFilePath

otherwise you get URL "file:"   as one part and
                           the effective filename of this stack  as 
another part, and join them by the "&".
