Ken, does the above function work for OS X as well? I use the one below that
also appends another folder, of course that would not be necessary, it was
just the way I have it set up (and the second part sets the externals).

put char 1 of the systemversion into systemchecker

if systemchecker is a number then
    if systemchecker <8 then ---OSX
      put defaultfolder&"/Data/" into valpath
    else
      put the defaultfolder&":Data:" into valpath
      delete char 1 of valpath
      replace "/" with ":" in valpath
    end if
  else
    put the defaultfolder&"/Data/" into valpath
    replace "/" with "\" in valpath
  end if

if systemchecker is a number then
    if systemchecker > 7 then
    else
      set the externals of this stack to "./VXCMD_Macho"
    end if
  else
    set the externals of this stack to "./VXCMD.DLL"
  end if


Thanks
