 Yes I had thought about that but I was trying to do this for the
newbie/hobbyist and therefore wanted to remove as many steps as possible -
just download and click. There are gotcha's with these stacks, mainly that
they 'send "myCustomMessage" to application "alreadyBuiltStandalone" ' so if
you try running them in the IDE they don't do anything!

Is there anyway to script saving a stack as a standalone? I note the
messages 'standaloneSaved' and savingStandalone, but nothing like
saveAsStandalone.

Otherwise I guess I'll just add a dialog box indicating that running the
stacks from the IDE won't produce the desired result. Then I guess I should
add some simple instruction on how to build a standalone.

As usual, only took 15min to whip up 'the core' of these 2 standalones but
it'll take 3 times that long to 'add the extras' to make it workable for my
target audience:-)
