Actually it's trying to save into .../common_lib/metacard/1.3a6.
There is no workaround for this other than lower-casing the complete
path *including* the file name.

MetaCard only saves when you tell it to.
The easiest way to rearrange your stacks is to load them all (e.g.
with "toplevel filename") and then type the following into the Message
Box:
set the mainStack of stack "B" to "A"
set the mainStack of stack "C" to "A"
Be sure to save one of the stacks (any one will do) after doing this.

My guess is that these two problems are due to the uppercase/lowercase
bug. One other possibility: MetaCard first looks for a stack of a
given name, then it looks for a file of that name and tries to load
it. It is therefore *not* a good idea to have stack names that are
the same as file names, since then you can't tell whether you're
opening a stack that has already been loaded (e.g. a substack of some
other stack) or loading a new stack.
