> Of course.  By making it a property, you're locking it in to what it is when it was saved, which is the script editor.  If it's not a property, it gets evaluated at run time, which returns its actual location.

Thank you, it makes sense to me now. But I'm still curious about how to interpret the example in my original post.

> What is the purpose of making it a property?

I was thinking about inheritance, but now I realize that, the path not being evaluated at runtime, there is not much use of it.

Thanks for your help,
Nicola
