easy externals question

[FlexibleLearning at aol.com]

We have progress in my quest for structural simplicity :-)
 
As Ken said, Externals can be stored in another stack and accessed with  
'start using' . But the stack does NOT have to be another stackFile... A  substack 
works just as well, contrary to what I said before (which is  probably what 
Ken meant in the first place and I mis-interpreted it!)
 
on preOpenStack
  put requiredExternalFilePaths() into tDLLs
  if the externals of stack "mySubStack" is not tDLLs then
    set the externals of stack "mySubStack" to tDLLs
    open inv stack "mySubStack" # with destroyStack set to  true
    close stack "mySubStack"
    start using stack "mySubStack"
  end if
end preOpenStack
 
Result is that the External/s can be set dynamically AND be immedaitely  
available for use.
 
Now I have taught you all how to suck eggs, I'll file this for future  
reference! ;-)
