start using [stack name]

[Geoff Canyon]

Others have answered the start using question, but no one's mentioned 
this yet: if your sounds are at all large, you should consider storing 
them separately, not in any stack at all.

HyperCard and Rev behave differently in this respect: when Revolution 
opens a stack it loads the whole thing into memory. This doesn't lend 
itself to using stacks as storage.

The positive, in case you're curious, is improved performance.
