>Enter the wonderful world of temp files :)
Anthony,
my thought exactly, though there will be problems if we wanted to merge a
temp file's contents back into the standie. We might have to live w/o it,
that is place a 'data' file next to the application that contains
additional blocks. That is, we might need a feature to override blocks in
one file with those from another. This shouldn't be much of a problem, but
won't look that elegant.

I'm not sure exactly. Scott mentioned this problem as a reason why MC
can't save changes to standalones on Mac; they wanted all versions to
behave the same on all platforms. IMO he also counted unix among the
platforms that didn't allow this, but I'm not sure.
