Yup, Jacqueline's right. By default, substacks are saved within the same
file as the standalone once built, so you can't save to them.

However, if you do prefer to work with substacks rather than actual separate
stacks, you can get the distribution builder to automatically save your
substacks as separate stacks during the build process.
