Jacque and James, Thank you for the tips… yes, I do want the main stack to be in the package… I placed it in the same folder simply because of the instructions in the lesson I referenced… when I first tried to include the main stack, I didn’t select “resources” as the destination folder… all is good on that front now.
And, yes, the shutdownrequest message what I was missing. Thank you both for helping move forward. be well, randy Randy Hengst www.classroomFocusedSoftware.com > On Mar 8, 2016, at 7:41 AM, jameshale <ja...@thehales.id.au> wrote: > > Randy Hengst wrote >> Second, when I “quit” the launcher the changes made to the “main” stack >> are not saved.
