That's right. Why is it like that? If I open a stack out of a folder which
is _not_ a standalone, the UI does not open with it. Even if I close , or
even if I leave it open and click on the Rev app in Rev's own folder, the UI
refuses to open. 

IMHO, if a stack is not a standalone, then it should open with the UI, or at
least have it available, and also, you should be able to quit Rev, but you
can't.

No. Not true. Clicking the close box only hides it, it does not quit Rev.
Look in the Application Menu in the upper right corner, and you will see Rev
is still there, loaded into memory, but just hidden. At least that's how it
is here, honest.

How is that (could be a procedure I don't know about)?

Thanks for your patience...I'm a little frustrated with Rev right now.
