I'm running by double-clicking -- because all I've got is DreamCard,
so I can't build standalones. And I suspect my users (they'll
download the Win or Mac player, I hope from my site where they get
the stack) will do it the same way. There's no evident other way to
tell the Player to load the stack; I may have missed it -- but if so,
users may well too. (I'll have to give them instructions anyway, of
course.)
So -- it's a bug, already known. Is there also a known workaround?
The app is hardly useable as it is.
