Message Path Anomalies (Use/Improve Rev XPost)

[Rob Cozens]

Hi All,

Dave McKee sent me a stack demonstrating the message path anomalies 
he reported to the Use Rev List (Re: Puzzled by Behavior):

<<<<<  The delete card message goes to whatever the previously opened window
was, be it the "substack1" or THE MESSAGE BOX !!!  AND NOT to the "Main"
stack   >>>>>>>

My testing verified the behavior Dave described: I watched the 
Application Overview showing one of its own cards being deleted each 
time I clicked on "Delete" in one session.  Usually it was the single 
card in the substack that got deleted.

I scripted workaround handlers to solve Dave's problems (in the stack 
& "Delete" button scripts); but I believe this stack demonstrates a 
flaw in the message path.  I posted the stack for download for others 
to test.
