Jeanne,

This looks to be very useful and something I would like to implement. 
I made an attempt to follow your suggestion, but with limited success.

I created a stack containing the handlers I would like to use as 
addenda to RR in the stack script. I set it to open at startup. I 
then saved the stack and stored it in the plugin folder. On 
restarting RR the stack in that folder opened as expected. But its 
handlers are not available to newly created stacks without a "start 
using...."

I was hoping it would be possible to have these handlers available 
without explicitly requesting them, as is the case in HC/MC home 
stack, much the same way Eric has suggested.

Also, is it possible to make that plugin stack be available yet 
invisible, that is, effectively customizing RR by adding a few 
handlers to those already built in? Am I asking for too much?

Is there some place I might  read more about plugins in RR?

Thanks Jeanne,

Jim
