Saving a stack file created with 5.5 as a legacy format 2.7 file seems to
be broken.

I've tried numerous times now using the IDE Save As… option and very time
the resulting file cannot be opened by LC version earlier than 5.5  (file
is not a stack error).

I also get a strange message right after the Save As which seems to
indicate the IDE wnats to load the saved as stack and what do I want it to
do with the one that's already in memory.

Creating a legacy format file by script bu setting the stackFileVersion to
2.7, then saving it as …. seems to work fine.

Here's another of those things I was talking about eralier today that cause
ructions and have nothjing to do with the functionality of the product….
and this time is is the rpoblme with the tool.
