PROBLEM DETAILS:
I have a project that I need to go onto a cd-rom as a part of a government project @ work.What I need is a script to run only once when the stack opens. Reason being is that I can't put all the stack locations into scripts.. for example: c:\project\mainstack.mc because then this forces them to copy to their harddrive. It is going to be 700MB, what happens if they don't have that much space? -well they can';t use it.

outline: what I need..

On OpenStack
{set a global field in the stack to the location of where this file is opened} - so for example it will set a global field called "location" to x:\[folder]\ (where x is the drive letter of where it is opening from.
If this can be achieved then how do i recall it

for example: (I want to open a file in the same folder called "credits.mc")

A Button called Credits has to do:

open "{location} (as defined before as the location) \credits.mc" therefore printing below:

open "e:\project\credits.mc" -- where e: is the drive and project is the name of the folder
 

If you can send script or something to help me with this it is greatly appreciated.
