I see. Executables on any OS can't save data to themselves. You need to 
use the "launcher" approach, where you create a standalone from a single 
card, often a splash screen, and that opens your data stack. This is 
exactly how the Player works, in fact.

There is a lesson how to do it here:
<http://lessons.runrev.com/spaces/lessons/buckets/784/lessons/17375-How-do-I-save-custom-properties-in-a-standalone-application->

The lesson focuses on saving custom properties, but the same applies to 
any data, including text in fields.
