Stacks that are part of a standalone app are read-only.  You have 
several  choices (heck, probably more).

1. have you stacks save their state off to a separate file, which is 
read in when the stack opens and used to initialize the field.

2. Have your main stack copy an embedded sub-stack off to a separate 
stack file and interact with that, which can be editted.

3. Have your main stack, which is built with the runtime, open a 
separate stack file that is included along with your main application.  
That separate stack file would be the actual main program logic.
