path of a 'closeStackRequest'

[Graham Samuel]

Thanks to all who replied: I think I know where I am now. Pity there 
is no clear documentation of the message path... still there are so 
many helpful people on this list that I guess it doesn't matter all 
that much.

Yes, as an old SuperCard hand I had never noticed that the 
'openWindow' message for any window would pass to the project script. 
I guess that's because I used a startUp handler for my 
initialisation, and realising that I wouldn't get one in the 
Revolution Development Environment, I switched my initialisation to a 
preOpenStack handler in the mainstack script. However, if one does 
this, it's necessary to check that the target of the handler is the 
actual mainstack, as several people have pointed out. On to the next 
problem...

Thanks again to all
