Thanks Jacqueline.You are a terrific teacher. It not only worked but I understand it. It is a very clever technique. I am still using the old 'hard coded' method (as well) because it has the advantage that while I *use* the stack, and modify it, the notes get written to a common stack (not a "copy" of the stack where they might get trashed). I hope that makes sense? But I've created a distribution "startup" (aka splash) that saves the notepad stack into the startup bundle (using stack panes) and also calls the stack by the relative pathname. Whew, that was a lot to learn. Thanks
