Nicolas,
You can't save information to a standalone MC stack, but you can save data
to any non-executable MC stack. So the trick here is to have another MC
stack that's separate from your standalone, and save the data there. Your
standalone might just be a stub application with splash screen that launches
your non-executable stack.
Hope this helps,
Marni
