Thanks, but unfortunately not so useful. I can't guarantee that users will have PDE installed. Since I know the full path to the bundle and I know the symbolic name of the source bundle, I can generate the path to the source bundle from the bundle. (I'd miss the case where the source bundle and the bundle are installed in different locations, but that seems rare enough that I won't worry about it).
