Problem with editable field -

[Chipp Walters]

Hi Christian,

What the standalone builder does, is remove the substack from the stack, 
in effect making it a stack which as Troy correctly notes, is no longer 
a substack (sat that 5 times quickly;-))

Actually, I never use this 'feature' as I always embed some library 
substacks within the main stack. In fact, it's a feature introduced by 
the Rev IDE and I don't believe was available in previous MetaCard 
versions. Frankly, IMO, it ends up confusing people regarding stack 
architecture.

A good stack architecture white paper would be a good thing to see 
sometime. I believe Todd Geist has been asking about such a document for 
some time now.

best,
Chipp
