Just a note about saving data in stacks inside a CGI folder -- you

a CGI folder on a server are usually set to disallow the creation of
new
files, so MC can't create the backup file and the save operation fails.
Thanks Jacqueline, that was "just in time" tip and the error message
from engine in such cases is "can't open stack backup file"
You can do it if you keep the stack somewhere else outside of the CGI
folder, but I hear that can be a security risk (though I'm not sure how
exactly, but someone wrote me once with very strong opinions about it.)
Probably because it opens the door to what's usually called "executing
arbitrary code on remote computer" :)
