I don't think the configuration matters, but I just (re)tried it on both
Leopard and Snow Leopard, on an iMac and a MacBook Pro. It works fine.
The Snow Leopard MacBook had never seen the external before so it was a
clean install. I dropped ssMacWindows.bundle into the Externals folder
at Documents/My Revolution Enterprise/Externals/ and then launched Rev.
I made a new stack with this script in the card:
on mouseUp
put ssMacWindowsInformation()
end mouseUp
When I click on the card, I get the info in the message box. The same
method worked on my iMac running Leopard and Rev 4.0.

That's the shortcut way to assign externals to a particular stack. It
does the same thing as the line of script that Mark Weider mentioned; it
just sets the externals property of your stack to the hard-coded file
path you choose.
