I guessed he would have figured that out on his own. :)

It's worth noting that while the error messages rarely change between 
versions of the engine, it's possible that they might so when updating 
the standalone you may want to update that list of messages.

If you want to be really clever about it you could trap the 
savingStandlone message and have your app take care of that itself at 
build time.

I've also heard recently that there may now be a function in the engine 
to obtain those strings, but I'm not sure if I'm remembering that 
correctly or just getting senile.
