You can change the path reference to an external by using the "externals"
stack property.
If there is not a path reference in the externals of a stack, it's assumed
that the external is in the defaultFolder. If this is the case with your
stack you'll be able to fix the problem immediately by simply copying the
.dll file from the MetaCard Program folder to the Revolution Program folder.
(When you build a standalone, be sure to copy it into the standalone's
folder.)

Check out the "externals" stack property in the Transcript dictionary.
