Start Using Question

[Björnke von Gierke]

The problem might be that your Stack isn't loaded fully when you 
initiate the command. Did you try to issue the command in a later time, 
maybe like this (untested):

on openStack
   send doStartUsing to me in 2 seconds
   pass openStack
end openStack

on doStartUsing
   put the filename of this stack into myStackFileName
   start using stack myStackFileName
end doStartUsing
