Tom, that's perfect! Actually, I think Devon mentioned the same or similar line of code, but it was your code that I realized I could use to my advantage. Like I said, I was trying to find the file path to my ijs file, and your code found out the file path to where a particular object is defined - Not necessarily the same intentions, but it gives the same result. I just chose a verb from my ijs to use and it output the file path just like I needed; thank you so much for the help!
