storing a stack as a customprop

[Peter Brigham MD]

"binfile" instead of "file" doesn't change things. Still don't get the  
actual stack into the property, just the filepath.

???

Could it be that the stack hasn't finished saving to disk before I'm  
trying to fetch it from the disk to get it into the property? Do I  
have to do a wait with messages or something?
