Some problems with an old stack that gets regular updates

[J. Landman Gay]

The ability to preserve the original stack file version is a setting in 
Preferences. I have that turned on too. You can either turn it off, or 
override it in the Save dialog by choosing a version from the pop up button 
at the bottom of the dialog.

I also looked at system prefs when trying to resolve the problem to make 
sure LC was permitted to use internet or sockets or whatever Apple calls 
it, I can't remember exactly. That didn't fix it though.

Like you, I also asked on the list here but no one knew the answer. I know 
that's not much help.
