I think the disconnect here, is in trying the useage of

save stack URL "http://www.x12.com/x12provider.rev"; as   " x12provider.rev"

to Rev
put URL ("http://www.x12.com/x12provider.rev";) into tempVar
means put the 20K of characters downloaded, which is the stack file content.

whereas form
> save stack "Treats" as "/Disk/Folder/File"
translates to
save stack (URL "http://www.x12.com/x12provider.rev";) as  "x12provider.rev"
which becomes 
save stack ("20K string that *is* the stack...") as  "x12provider.rev"
    which is not a valid stack name, instead of
save stack ("stackname") as  "x12provider.rev"

So to work with it as a stack:
go stack URL "http://www.x12.com/x12provider.rev"; --opens the stack
put the short name of this stack into tName
save stack tName as "x12provider.rev"
--which will be located in the defaultFolder

Or to work with it as a file:
put URL ("http://www.x12.com/x12provider.rev";) into tempVar
put tempVar into URL "binfile:x12provider.rev"
Or a one-liner
put URL ("http://www.x12.com/x12provider.rev";) into URL
"binfile:x12provider.rev"
