Hi Nicolas
You can't save data to an executable file. (In theory, you can on a
Mac, but I don't know if Metacard allows it or not.) To save data in
a Metacard stack while running with a standalone, you'll need to keep
the stack separate from the standalone. One way is to build the
standalone from a stack that simply opens the external stack in a
preopenStack handler.
on preoOpenstack
hide this stack
toplevel stack <mainStackname>
end preOpenStack
Be sure to call "quit" in the external stack when you close it or the
invisible standalone will still be running.
on closeStack
save this stack
quit
end closeStack
