Actually I should have spent less time reading the 350 hits for 
"standalone" in the Document Search plugin, and more time puzzling 
about the Distribution Builder "Encrypt with password" checkbox button.

My initial reaction to that checkbox was: the user will be prompted for 
a password when they run the standalone. I was so sure about that I 
never even tried it.

The password property TD entry talks about encryption, but it focuses 
on what you can and can't do within the Rev IDE. It doesn't say 
anything about standalone apps, other than you can set it in the 
Distribution Builder. I should have made the connection because I know 
now that a Rev standalone app is basically a "stack player" packaged as 
a single file with the Mainstack.
