In some of my apps (for myself) and clients I want to be able to know which
folder the stack is running from so I put a field at the top called
"appLocation", shared = true, in a group by itself, behave as background =
true.

on openstack
   put the effective filename of this stack into fld "appLocation"
   --the effective filename =  the mainstack for substacks

When the content of a card is linked to a folder on the hard drive, I do the
same thing (but not shared text) on opencard or closefield, etc.
