Splash Screen Displays Empty

[Dan Shafer]

Thanks, Chipp. that worked. I guess I was running into a RR 
peculiarity with timing, eh?

>>  Here's the openStack script in the splasher stack (mainstack):
>>
>>  on openStack
>>     show this stack
>>     wait 3 seconds
>>     hide this stack
>>     open stack "Lateral File"
>>     show stack "Lateral File"
>>     set the defaultStack to "Lateral File"
>>  end openStack
>>
>>  I suspect I don't need the last line but it's left over from earlier

>>  splasher isn't visible and it seemed that when I opened the stack
>>  under those conditions, the splasher would not appear visible.
