Can gdl know where you are? Can you tell if it is inside the embedded library or c:\.. Path?

I may be wrong, but I don't think you can find that out in GDL.

But it shouldn't matter where the object is, if it is in a loaded library it will work (the embedded library is always loaded in a project where as other libraries are optional).

What I want to know is the question I asked because I was wondering if there is a way for the gdl file to know where it is.
It worked when a certain gdl file was in the embeded libarary, but it didn't work when I saved it as a file, so I searched for it thinking that I could find out its location, but I couldn't find it, so this is a question. ^^

A GDL file doesn't need to know where it is.

It will only work if it is in a loaded library.

So if you save that file as an external file, and then load that file as part of an external library, it will work just the same as if it was in the embedded library.
