My original suggestion was to store standAlone settings as a customProperty  
of the standAlone builder, NOT the target stack. I completely agree with 
Richard  (and probably everyone else) that the SA should not modify the target 
stack.  Whether settings are stored as a customproperty or as a series of cards, I 
don't  mind, so long as I can choose past settings without having to re-type 
the  all each time!
