Paul, Re #2: In a Mac standalone the defaultFolder property will return the path to the .app file. If you want the path to the executable inside the bundle, use the filename of the stack and chop off the last item. I often include a function like this: function parentFolder get the filename of this stack set the item delimiter to slash return item 1 to -1 of it end parentFolder That works in the traditional Mac OS X environment; once we have to start using sandboxed apps we may be able to get that info using specialFolderPath(“engine”), as you can now on iOS.
