If I do: "get the filename of this stack" on my G5(Tiger) it returns "/Volumes/Starfish Internal 250/Scripter/filename test/ filename test.app/Contents/MacOS/filename test" i.e. the full path. If I run it on G3 laptop(Panther) it returns "/filename test.app/ Contents/MacOS/filename test"

In my experience this is normal OS X/Unix behavior. The "root" level of the system is defined as the "top" level of the boot volume, so in a terminal if you do 'cd /' you are taken to the top level of the boot drive. If my boot volume is 'Macintosh HD' that information is not included in th

Hi Chris, Good suggestion Klaus! i had to figure this out for some Applescripts, that stopped working under "Tiger" :-) Thanks for the tip. BTW, I've not checked this on Windows yet. Eventually I'll want this app to run on PC. I suppose I might also have to put in a check there too?

Hi Chris, Klaus - Thanks for looking at this. The problem I have is not the end of the string (bundle path) but the beginning! On my G5 it correctly returns "/Volumes/Hard_Disk_Name/...", but on G3 it starts with the application root, i.e. it doesn't return the full path to the HD root.
