-----------
Only Macs have resource forks so files can automatically save to themselves,
i.e., the data, including any changes/updates, becomes part of the resource
fork of the stack (Hypercard) or project (SuperCard). RR uses the MetaCard
engine which is cross-platform. Since PC's under Windows, Linux, Unix, etc.,
do _not_ have resource forks, their files cannot save to themselves.
Therefore, in order to remain consistant across all platforms, RR stacks do
not save to themselves on Macs either.

Does that help?
