Put a stack into a variable?

[Alain Farmer]

This may seem off-topic, sort-of, but it might be simpler to transmit an exhaustive DESCRIPTION of the stack, and have their LiveCode create it all from scratch. Then it gets filled with content that is gotten by URL. Kind-of like how web-pages work. It's all text, no binaries.

It means that you can make it work. "Go to url" won't work, but you can 
download the data, set clipboarddata["objects"] and paste.

Not sure if it is a bug. It is if copied stacks lose properties that 
aren't part of the old format. Otherwise I'd call it a feature request.
