When the example stack opens, it should get a path to its folder and 
save it in a custom property, so any example stack can fetch it and 
use as root folder. So all scripts in examples use only path relative 
to this.

for example

on openStack
   get the effective filename of this stack
   set the itemDel to slash
   set the rootFolderPath of this stack to (item 1 to -2 of it) & slash
   ...
end openStack

Then each time you need a full path

put (the rootFolderPath of stack "exampleIndex") & relDbPath into fullDbPath
