Thanks, Jacque. I was hoping you were listening out there. :-)

What a good idea. I'm going to steal it. :)
Steal away! We're no where near even.
Except after some poking around I wasn't able to find it.
So how do I read the version string that I assign in the S.A.S.
stack? Or is there some easy, obvious way to read that short
version string?
It's in the stacks custom property set "cRevStandaloneSettings".
You can only see these if "Show UI elements in lists" is turned on
in prefs. All the versions are in there; OS X, Windows, etc. along
with everything else. Pick the one you need.
I assume these custom prop sets survive to the standalone state--
can't imagine why they wouldn't. So I can just read them at runtime
rather than having to dynamically update the About stack before I
save as standalone?
