I was about to point to that too, but I tried out some things first. For our simple cases that article may be a bit overwhelming.

As best I can tell, and it seems to work, you would go into the application settings, Stacks area, and check the box that says "Move substacks into individual stackfiles". Having done that, you can then do a save of any substack.

In my quick test of that, I have a main stack of Untitled 1, and a substack of Untitled 2, and on the Untitled 1 stack I have a button with this script in it:

on mouseUp
   save stack "Untitled 2"
end mouseUp


Clicking that does indeed make the substack save its contents, they are there next time I launch the app.
