e$ = GetDirectoryEntry(id, entry$)

When called from an applet or executable which has all the files in the directory specified by id linked to it, GetDirectoryEntry() will return a special handle which can then be passed to all Hollywood functions that accept a file or directory name, e.g. LoadBrush().

If this function is called when just running a script with the Hollywood interpreter, i.e. not from a stand-alone applet or executable, GetDirectoryEntry() will simply return the string that has been passed to it in entry$, which makes it possible for scripts using @DIRECTORY to behave exactly the same, no matter whether they have been compiled as applets or executables, or if they are run as scripts using the Hollywood interpreter. If they are run using the Hollywood interpreter, they will just load the data from a real file then, whereas the data will be loaded directly from the applet or executable in case GetDirectoryEntry() is called from a stand-alone applet or executable.
