Going crazy with closing a stack

[Thomas McGrath III]

Doug,

I was having problems with the closeStack as well and it seems everyone 
said it must be something I was doing. Well, usually it is.;-)

But once I put my close down stuff into the on shutDown and my start up 
stuff into on StartUp everything now gets set and handled and works 
great.

It seems to me, since you can put closeStack in a stack and in a 
substack and elsewhere that it may not be as pure as is stated. I mean 
startup is just that and only goes off on startup and shutdown is just 
that and only goes off on shutdown. But preOpenStack and OpenStack and 
closestackrequest etc. seem to be upwardly mobile. I mean they work 
best handling upstream stuff.

Of course I haven't a clue and will probably get reamed but I tell you 
once I moved my stuff into the startup and shutdown handlers they 
finally got called as expected and things then worked great. One 
problem though, I could not debug the startup in the IDE for some 
reason. I put in a break and it never showed but in the standalone 
things were smooth.

FWIW
