Well, it's hard to replicate exactly, but, for example the following three
things:

(1) The existence or non-existence of global variables is different. In
fact, it seems that global variables are not TRULY global. They seem to
depend on the stack hierarchy.

(2) I can't track down the reason yet, but I build a client that does some
two-way communication via a server. With the Windows stand-alone app the
two-way communication seems to work perfectly with my OS X client when I am
in the OS X IDE, but when I do the same thing with the OS X standalone it
doesn't always communicate right.

(3) I use a cloned stack in my application. In the IDE, after making changes
to the original stack, if I don't *close* the stack before cloning it, the
changes are sometimes used and sometimes not. I can't figure out why that
would be try. When you clone a stack both the openStack and openCard
handlers are called for the new stack, aren't they?
