It seems that a number of system "globals" don't have values in revlets.
I tried a small program to display the following:

defaultfolder
platform
systemversion
environment

All of which seem to be empty in a revlet.

Here is a very simple script :

  put tPath into fld "resultat"

In the IDE, it gives the right path
when I build a revlet, put it on my server and open it with Safari,
it  gives ... nothing ! fld "resultat" stays empty
Any idea ?

The stack file on your server isn't the one that's running.  Like
web pages, what the browser gets is a downloaded copy of the stack
file. This copy lives in RAM, so its fileName will be empty.

It sounds like this means that I can't reliably reference files—like
external stacks or configuration files—'next to' my revlet on the
server. Is this true? How about the value of 'the directory' or
'default folder'? How about referenced images?

I routinely store application resources in a folder, 'resources', next
to my apps that contain all kinds of stuff. I compute paths at startup
depending on the effective filename. Do I have to change my
architecture?
