Firels as containers

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi,

Indeed, the destroyStack property being set to false was the reason why 
the stack appeared to be saved while it wasn't.

Also, because the global variable gRevStackStatus[stackName] isn't 
updated if a script changes the value of the field, the Save prompt 
wasn't triggered when Muaadh chose Exit from the File menu.

While this is a little confusing if you only use the IDE and usually 
don't make standalones, I don't think this is a big issue, because the 
project would eventually run as a standalone and would need its own 
saving routines.
