Demo Show Stopper - Save File Dialog

[Ken Ray]

Dave,

How about setting lockMessages to true just before your stack closes? Like
this:

on closeStackRequest
  if theCustomSaveStackFlag of this stack is true
     save this stack
  end if
  lock messages
  pass closeStackRequest
end closeStackRequest

and remove your closeStack handler.

Just a thought...
