The Case For A RunRev Player (was "Stack and Substacks")

At its simplest, Dar, a Revolution Player is a standalone app with an 
Open Stack menuItem.  Anybody's splash screen stack could be a 
Revolution Player if it allowed the user to select & open any RunRev 
stack instead of just the specific stack(s) it was designed for.

The stack opened would be no more or less directly vulnerable then if 
it had been opened by its dedicated splash screen.

But a Revolution Player could be much more.  In HyperCard, the 
Player's Home stack was a place to set privileges & search paths, 
place buttons to navigate to frequently-used stacks, and store 
transient information.
