Looking at Sivakatirswami web site (well done!), gave me an idea that I was
wandering if it had more general support...
When distributing Metacard stacks to people who do not have the engine, it
is common practice to include ftp links to the relevant compiled standalone,

It works fine as a stack but when I create a standalone stack with it

metacard home, no problem. If you build a stack, the ask and answer
stacks aren't copied. If you want to use the ask and answer dialogs, you can
copy them to your stack (before building a standalone) with the resource

quit?" with yes or no)
nothing shows at all.

Make sure you move the Answer Dialog using the Resource Mover into your stack

standalone is that the Answer Dialog is being pu

was it using the standalone as a player (a la HC player)?
