Saving data in standalone

[Paul Dupuis]

My suggestion would be to have your Standalone create a new stack with 
the user's work and save that stack under a customer file extension for 
your app.

You can not actually save data in a standalone. you must save it to some 
source outside of the standalone - and stack, a text file, a binary 
file, a remote database, etc. - whatever works for your app.
