What Env Variable set when saving standalone?

Bob,

Is the problem that at app-login time, the app doesn't know whether its 
opening was caused by the standalone builder or by the user? If so, 
maybe something this would work:

on standaloneSaved
     put true into url (specialFolderPath("temp") & "/saved"
end standaloneSaved


on appLogin -- in card script of login stack
     if there is a file ( specialFolderPath("temp") & "/saved" ) then
         delete file ( specialFolderPath("temp") & "/saved" )
     else
         modal the owner of me -- or whatever mode you want
     end if
end appLogin


It's crude but would probably work. Of course it's always possible I'm 
solving the wrong problem. :-)

The only time I do NOT want to open that stack is when I am saving as standalone.
