If stack was designed to be the app,
then saving changes could only be true if the stack was running in the  
IDE, not once it is compiled.

If you wrote an app that would open a stack and populate the datagrid,  
then save the stack as a stack file, that would work because the  
modified stack would not be part of the app or exe.  This is the same  
as creating a spreadsheet or text document and saving that file, yet  
not saving any modifications to the app (such as Excel or TextEdit)
