This would work on the Mac, but on Windows a seperate "instance" of the
program is run each time you double click a stack or standalone in Windows
(unless you use DDE and the externals collection to load just one instance).
As these instances are completely seperate globals cannot be passed between
them. So you do need to resort to using a file. If you're using a locked
disk such as a CD-ROM, you can save the file into the temporary directory
(the tempname function will always return the path to a file you can write
to).
