Hello LiveCoders,

I have a standalone from which I want to launch a stack in the LiveCode IDE. 
Most of the time the 'launch document' command works perfectly for this. But if 
the user has not associated the .rev or .livecode extension with an 
application, (or if there is a Windows registry problem) this method fails. As 
a backup I can attempt a launch <path to application> command, but that only 
works if you know, well, the path to the LiveCode .app on mac or the .exe on 
Windows. Now it's fairly simple to discover the default install locations, but 
what if the user has installed LC in a non-standard location? Is there a 
reliable way across platforms to discover where LiveCode[version].app (Mac), 
LiveCode.exe (Win), or the LiveCode executable (Linux) is installed?

Thanks,

Devin
