Description | Use the externals property to use the externals in the specified files. Each line of the externals specifies the name and location of a file containing external commands and external functions. If you specify a name but not a location, the file is assumed to be in the defaultFolder. The files are executed when the stack is opened, making the externals in them available to handlers in the stack.
