standalone loading script-only stacks

[Matt Maier]

The handlers are incomplete because I only pasted in the parts that led to
each other. The rest of the handlers would be long and irrelevant.

It looks like the problem is caused by the ask and/or answer dialog. The
first few lines where properties of those stacks are set cause the setup
handler to error out. Other functions that depend on ask/answer aren't
working correctly either.

So I got 90% of the app to run by commenting out the lines setting popup
properties in the setup. I got the answer popup to appear in the
stand-alone by switching a button in the stand-alone application settings.
The ask popup is still missing in action.

Any ideas how to get those into the stand-alone?
