This is no different than stacks launched from a web server using a
desktop-based launcher app. The launched stack resides only in RAM
so it has no filename value, as it was not launched from a stackfile
in the local filesystem. If there is a defaultFolder, it's on the
desktop file system. When you work in this environment, you just
have to change your thinking a little bit. You can still have prefs
and resource files in a folder next to your stack, but instead of
looking in a relative filepath, you have to remember the URL to the
stack (obviously you know it or you couldn't launch the stack.)
Remove the stackname from the URL and you're left with the web URL
("filepath", if you will) to the folder containing the stack. Just
build a new URL by appending the folder and file name of the
resources/prefs file and call it that way.

It seems that a number of system "globals" don't have values in

I tried a small program to display the following:
defaultfolder
platform
systemversion

First, if the global properties that Phil lists are empty, what's the
best way to determine that my code is running in a Revlet?
if the global properties that phil lists are empty then
-- assume you're in revlet environment?
-- ;-)
end if
Seriously, I think RunRev ought to return "revlet" or something
similar in the environment function when you're running as a revlet.
Bug report/enhancement request, anyone?
Second, some of my apps have a zillion referenced images that build
the UI. Will I have to define new paths for them on preopenstack or
preopencard? No shortcut way? I wonder whether I'll have to come up
with a scheme to cache images...
I think you'd have to build URLs for them on openWhatever as I
described earlier.
