How do I close a Stack (Window)

Hi,

That worked fine for the Splash Screen (once I realized that I had to 
Close it Manually to get it to re-open and do it's stuff - This is 
where RunRev REALLY gets me! Although I am getting used to it now).

I have one more question on this though. I have a button that needs 
to call a Stack (dialog), I have the following script on the button:

on mouseUp
go StackPageSize
end mouseUp

Which calls the stack ok, but it doesn't become the frontmost window. 
Well maybe it does sometimes, not sure, still playing. Is there 
something else I need to do to make it be the active window?

Cheers
Dave
