Saving data in standalone

[Paul Dupuis]

You can save external stacks or created on the fly stacks where ever you 
have *write* (and read) permission on your OS.

Increasingly, whether macOS or Windows, that is not the Applications 
(macOS) or Program Files/Program Files (x86) (Windows) folders. I find 
the SAFEST place to save something is using 
specialFolderPath("documents") and then create a folder structure for 
your company or app in the user's Documents folder. OSes are becoming 
more and more "sandboxed" to prevent malware and dumb user mistakes from 
wrecking apps or the OS itself.
