Essentially, all of the files I need to launch are in the same directory as the RunRev file. (Basically, it runs the "patch_up.exe" executable and then launches the actual "toolset_up" executable once that's finished -the patch changes aren't permanent so this is necessary at every startup.)

Testing out the example on an empty card explained it all perfectly, thanks very much! I'll try and find some mention of the Mac and Linux sort (the RunRev dictionary mentions UNIX filepaths but sadly I'm one of those silly Windows users. )

This is really going well for me. :oops: Three signifigant chunks of my program require a specific executable to be run and actions performed on it during runtime (the latter of which is done externally). However, file extensions are obviously differen...
