Hi Graham & Heather Harrison,
If I uderstand you correctly, you want your script to find out where
the My Revolution folder resides, in case the user changed it. To get
this path, you can use the revEnvironmentCustomizationPath() function.
This function isn't documented either ;-) and this function is not
available outside the IDE.
Maybe you don't need all this. The externals that I have inside the
Externals folder of the My Revolution folder load automatically.

What exactly do you want to do?
Inside the IDE, you can call the choosecustomizationpath command.
I am nowhere near deploying, just learning. This parameter is
available, but seemingly not used by rev until you rub it's nose in
it. Since I dislike doing things twice, I see no reason to repeat
the information in a rev script. And the two lessons available, get
around the problem by making the user select the file, which is just
as unpalatable.
Now you introduce choosecutomizationpath which may be a good
solution but I can find no reference to it in the user guide, or the
dictionary. Not the first such omission by any means.
Actually, Jacque's suggestion:
I usually put the external in the same working folder with my stack
and point the stack's externals property to a relative file path.
sounds very good to me. As soon as I decipher the guide's
explanation I will give it a go.
