Standalone Problems for OSX and OS9 apps

so today finally after 2 years of using Rev, I've actually tried to 
make some standalones, and the process seems to be straightforward 
and simple. However, the standalones display different results, some 
of which defeat the usefulness of these apps, and the inconsistency 
is bothersome.

1. App is created in 2.5, using no externals, etc, all Transcript. 
Simple loading in of text files, parsing data to send to a second 
stack window for printing. There are grey cutting guide lines on the 
printing window (this is for simple CD labeling) and also table 
boundary lines which show up properly on screen and print just fine 
on a Laserwriter printer. Everything works in the IDE. OS 10.3.4. I'm 
using tab-delimited text inserted into table fields from files loaded 
with open and read.

2. OSX standalone works great, except that all the greyed lines don't 
appear in the printed output but yet are there in the template stack. 
Huh?

3. The OS 9 stanalone is worse - the grey lines show up in print, but 
no text gets loaded into the table field for editing. Another button 
that loads text from the clipboard works, but loading from a file 
doesn't - only on the OS9 standalone.

Are there any 'gotchas' that I should be looking out for in compiling 
these apps? The appropriate libraries were checked. Is it the shade 
of grey that's the problem?

disappointed but not down,
