I don't get this.  I have applications that are single stacks.

While we're listing:

	I would like a HyperCard runtime application that allows
	me to install stack data and resources in it and allows me
	to set the icon and other items, resulting in a standalone
	HyperCard program that can be run at the same time as other
	such applications.

	The ability to generate complete standalone applications
	simply is the biggest drawback of the Mac environment.
	Unix shell scripts provide a much better mechanism.
