Newbie - MainStack Question

Brian,

First, I don't consider placing the mainStack's preOpenStack & 
openStack handlers in the first group or card to be opened to be a 
work around: it is simply an illustration of placing handlers at the 
most appropriate point in the message hierarchy.

IMFO, the best place for generic routines is a library stack that 
other stacks start using.  This makes them available to all stacks 
that need them, not just the single mainStack.

And if you mean "generic to the mainStack & it's subStacks" instead 
of generic across two or more mainstacks, doesn't moving the 
openStack handler to the card or group script accomplish exactly that?
