Jacque, thanks for the thoughts. I'm trying something else first, since I think I just confused the compiler with the parameters provided from the dialog I was using. If I can't, I'll try as you've suggested. It makes some sense. File names are so touchy!

Hi All,
You've got to hand it to me. I DO have the weirdest things happen.
I saved a Standalone. I opened the Mac OSX version. Played with it a bit, then decided I wanted to save a copy. So I selected the Save A copy As... with the following handler in the File menu:
case "Save A Copy As..."
    answer folder "Select destination folder for backup: "
    if the result is "Cancel" then exit menupick
    revCopyFile (the effective fileName of this stack), it
    break
Then I went looking to see if the changes I'd made were actually saved, but lo and behold a PC exe version was where the saved copy should have been.
Any thoughts?

I can't say I've ever tried to save a copy of a standalone from within itself. But are you sure it's a PC executable? Or does the Finder just think it is, and is assigning the wrong icon? I'm betting that the creator/type codes weren't set, and the Finder has no idea what kind of file that is.

I'm also wondering if you actually got an executable file, or just a copy of the main stack. Are the file sizes on disk the same between the two copies? If they are the same, then you might be able to use a creator/type editor to change the type to "APPL" and you'd be in business.
