You can't edit a standalone, because a running executable is locked by the
OS on many platforms that MetaCard supports. If you need to save changes,
place those substacks that need to save in seperate files and distribute
that along with your application. Typically, you put all these stacks in a
folder call "data" or something similar, and set the stackFiles property on
the mainStack you use to actually build into the standalone, so that you can
refer to those seperated stacks by name as per normal.
