I asked this very question a few weeks back. Below, are two useful and
similar pieces of advice.
--------------ONE----------
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

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

Hope it works for you as well as it did for me.
