<DIV>Thanks, Chipp... Shame that a mainstack cannot benefit from a substack's
externals. This would make distributed mainstack programs immediately
operational. The way it works at present is "Welcome to the program! Please quit
and start again for it to work."</DIV>

size=2>Hugh,<BR><BR>You can set a stacks externals and it will be saved with the
stack. <BR>Externals are a property of the stack, so you only need set them once
<BR>and they will load each and every subsequent time the stack is
launched.<BR><BR>If you want to dynamically set the externals of a stack, you
can do this <BR>too, by having a main stack set the externals of 'otherStack',
save <BR>'otherStack', then close and remove from memory otherStack (delete
stack <BR>'otherStack'), then open otherStack and the externals will now work
with <BR>otherStack.<BR><BR>Hope this
helps.<BR><BR>best,<BR><BR>Chipp</FONT></DIV>
