question about splash stacks

[Peter Alcibiades]

You make a standalone with a splash stack that just fires up the main one, so 
as to be able to save changes to the main one.

There are two stacks in the folder, splash, the executable, and let say 
main.rev.

Why is it that when you make and save changes in main.rev from the ide, they 
do not show up when you start main from the splash stack?

And is there a simple way of editing the main stack without having to resave 
as a standalone each time?

I was using stackrunner, which was perfect for this, and will do again as soon 
as Ken releases the 2.9 version.  But in the meantime, why is it working this 
way?
