Changing Script In Standalone

[Sarah Reichelt]

This is not quite true. Rev does permit modification of data in a
standalone, but this new data will not be saved unless it is a
separate file to the main program. This can be a sub-stack or any
external data storage mechanism.

In this case, the script change should happen, provided it fits within
the scriptLimits, but the new script will not be saved if the stack
being modified is part of the main application file.

Cheers,
Sarah
