Save problem

[Robert Presender]

Hi Jeanne.

Thank you for your response.  Names are short and no diacritical 
characters.
Put all stacks into a new folder without success.  Finally created a 
new main
stack and new substacks to mimic the original.  Then I copied the cards 
of all
the original stacks to their new respective stacks.  Also copied the 
scripts of
the original stacks to their respective new stacks.  This solved the 
Save problem.

Since all scripts in the new stacks and copied cards are the same,  I 
am at a loss
as to what went wrong in the original using OSX, Rev 2.2 .  Anyway, it 
is working now.

Regards .... Bob
