I was not aware that you included a "/" before the hard drive. / Applications means root of the System drive/Applications folder. I thought that if you wanted to refer to an absolute path in unix you would use /volumes/Macintosh HD/Applications. This is of course for the Mac OS. Perhaps other Unix variants use something else for the mount points besides volumes, but the idea is the same.

The docs, for 'absolute file path':

The 'Tip' for defaultFolder includes the above plus points out that UNIX naming convention is used so the path MUST begin with and folders separated
by "/".

The example under 'defaultFolder' is:

set the defaultFolder to "/Hard Disk/Applications/GetIt"

All simple enough.

But when I do:

answer files "Select a file" with "/Mac HD/Users/kcl/stacks/" titled "Choose
a stack"

I end up in the bowels of the Rev App bundle.

Even if I do the above in the message box it ends up in the Rev App bundle.

BUT, if I remove the reference to the hard disc everything works fine, both
in my stack and the msg box.

This applies whether I'm looking in Users, Applications, System...
everywhere. Referring to the HD or partition fails to lead anywhere other
than the bowels of the Rev App Bundle

So has something changed in Rev 3.0 or have the Docs been wrong all this
time?
