Substack trouble

[Sarah]

Hi Ken,

One solution is to put an empty openStack handler in the stack script 
of all your substacks. That way they trap the message without passing 
it on to the main stack.
An alternative is to have your mainStack openStack handler check for 
the name of the topStack and only proceed if it is actually the main 
stack.
A third option is to put the openStack handler in the CARD script of 
the first card of your main stack. That way it is hidden from sub 
stacks but will still operate correctly for the main stack.

Cheers,
Sarah
