OK - that officially sucks

MC uses other differnet stacks (stored as "Answer dialog" and "Ask

 So the only way round this bit is to either ignore the name clash - or
rename the dialogs or possibly in the case of the RunRev IDE remove the
association linked in the stackfiles.

Does anyone know where RunRev stores the stackfile associations (which
stack) - I think there is no way of finding out other than searching each
stack.

OK - I'll have a little play. MC uses one stack and one front and back
script - the problems is the name clash with the various dialogs. Maybe a
startup script can reanme these  stacks depending in which environment they
are opened in...
