storing a stack as a customprop

[Klaus Major]

Hi Ron,

> As a follow up to this -
> I am storing my prefs  in a stack that starts as a custprop and is spit out  when the application starts. The resulting stack is referenced throughout the application and data saved to it. It is not outputted each time the app starts (unless the user deletes the file), but it is written to and saved each time a preference is changed. When a stack is included in the standalone build there is an option to encrypt the stack.

set a password for that stack before you save it to disk/import as CP.
