I suspected it had to be something like that, but I was kind of dense and didn't follow what you were saying. If I rejigger my code to make it work both ways (run-time for miniparrot, compiled-in elsewise), will that be OK? (I can do this by #defining PARROT_STACK_DIR to either a number or a variable name in stackdir.pl) --Josh
