newbie: when to use substacks?

[Chipp Walters]

Tom,

If you plan on saving changes with your project, you'll find you can't do it
in a mainstack. You have to use substacks as only they can be 'saved.'

This is a limitation of Linux,PC and MacOSX executables.

Many people use a mainstack as a 'Splash Screen' which then loads all the
necessary substacks. In this way, you could even have your substacks located
on a server and download them from the Main Splash Screen if you like. That
way your users would always have the latest version. You can of course also
write data files directly to a users hard drive and load them into a main or
substack if you like. This will get you around the limitation of not being
able to save a mainstack.

best,

Chipp
