Standalones can't save any changes for the next time. So you use a splash 
stack and make it your standalone. From that stack (which may only just 
present a splash screen for the user), you "start using" another stack 
that will contain your data and which you can save with changes. This 
stack will have to be separate from the splash stack (it can't be a 
substack) so you will be distributing at least two items (unless you're 
under OSX, in which case you could place it in the Application bundle).

So, to recap, the splash stack is built as a standalone and contains the 
engine but probably not much else. It can't save changes to itself. Your 
data stack is a separate stack called by the standalone, and it can save 
changes without problems.

Are you still confused?
