In addition to Scott's suggestion, the other thing you can do is give it a
fileName. You see, when you load a stack into memory (either as a result of
getting a stack from the web, or by cloning a stack), it doesn't have an
actual filepath. In fact, if you amended your button to read:

on mouseUp
  answer the fileName of this stack
end mouseUP

you'd note that you get nothing in your answer box. So to save the stack you
first need to set a file name for it, and THEN save it. Like:

on mouseUp
  set the fileName of this stack to "/Users/kenray/desktop/myStack.rev"
  save this stack
end mouseUp
