The main reason to edit the .xcl file is if you want to modify the memory layout. To do that copy the .xcl file from C:\Program Files (x86)\IAR Systems\Embedded Workbench 6.0\430\config to your project directory and in the options for the project, under Linker>Config, select Override default and set the path to something like: $PROJ_DIR$\Source\lnk430F2274.xcl

Then edit the local .xcl file.

However to edit things like stack size, just use the Options, as Hugo suggested.

To change the stack size, or other build parameters, just change them in the General Options>Stack/Heap settings. Right Click on the top project and select options.
