Following up (in case someone has an answer):
I see in the description for SpecialFolderPath(), that under HTML5
(platform) the following are available:
"temporary": A folder where temporary files can be placed
"engine": The folder where the standalone initial file system is extracted
"resources": The resources folder where files or folders specified in
the Standalone Builder are located.
But where do these point to:
1) When the HTML5 app is running from the local file system (say
Windows) in a browser
VS
2) When the HTML5 app is running from a server URL in a browser
If no one knows the answers, I can always run a set of tests to
determine the values.

I have an LC application that currently runs on Window and macOS, that
I want to try to get running under LC 10 for the web. One
characteristic of the app is that it opens a number of external
stacks. On desktop platforms, these external stacks (outside the .EXE
(windows) or .app package (macOS) are found in a folder at the same
level as the installed application.
So if the app is installed at C:\Program Files\MyApp\MyApp.exe
The the folder containing the external stacks is at C"\Program
Files\MyApp\FolderOfStacks\
I get the path of the mainstack and use it to construct the path to
the folder
If I build for Web, is there some equivalent model for external stacks?
I get that I may need to have a:
switch platform()
case "Win32"
case "macOS"
-- load external stacks the way I do now
break
case "web"
-- load external stacks some other way
break
end switch
but what is the web best practice for that 'some other way"? And is it
different if I am testing locally vs hosting MyApp on a server?
