Don't worry - we generally don't beat people up around here for asking easy
questions. We would all have too many bruises... "easy" is a relative thing
anyway.

Add this to the script of your index stack and the buttons should work:

on openStack
  get the filename of this stack
  set the itemDelimiter to "/"
  delete last item of it
  set the directory to it
end openStack

I believe "the directory" is initially set to the directory where the MC
engine lives.
