That sounds right if you are currently running under a non-admin
account; only administrators can work with the Applications folder, and
Revolution may not be "owned" by an admin account on your machine. In
general, always create standalones somewhere inside your user folder.

It does sort of sound like an ownership problem. When the app is
created, it is "owned" by the user who created it. That user can write
to the app bundle but others can't. If you change user accounts, it may
not save any more because the current user isn't the "owner". If your
old stacks happen to be owned by another user account, they won't save
into your current user folder. Check the standalone's Get Info box and
see who owns it.
If this is the problem, you can usually get around it by assigning full
permissions to the "group" and "other" categories, but this can be a
security issue in some cases.
A better idea is to separate your data from your standalone, and save
the data stack to a permitted location such as the /library/Application
Support folder.
