Thanks, David - I've tried it and it works OK. Just one question, though, regarding relative paths, if the user runs the program from his CD, won't this statement confuse the finding of the path (the CDRom won't be C: drive).
I'm asking this because I need to package my project and distribute it on CD.
Regards
Piet

Firstly I assume that the authorware is running from a drive location (Hard Disc, network or CD) and not the web (note on the web then filelocation is your plugin directory).
JumpOutReturn (exec path , documents [, mac bit])
for this example i'm going to assume we are on drive 'c'
if the seasons.exe is at c:\mphil\games\seasons.exe
then use JumpOutReturn("c:\\mphil\\games\\seasons.exe","")
if it is in the mphil\games directory below the authorware then use
JumpOutReturn(FileLocation^"mpil\\games\\seasons.exe","")
