Best place for common script

[Robert J. Earp]

Hello all, greetings from Vancouver where the skiing is fantastic this year.

Over the years I've scripted a whole mess of sub-routines/ functions/tools 
etc. , most recently in ToolBook, where I've used their System Books feature.

For those of you that have never used ToolBook, they use the term Book the 
same as Rev uses Stack, and System Books are just regular ToolBook files 
(Books) with a .sbk extension, but with the ability to be dynamically 
linked with a project Book.  This means that they are automatically in the 
message path hierarchy, above the project book (the main stack), and below 
the engine (ToolBook interpreter itself).

The great thing about this is that you can just fire off a message to a 
handler/function located in a .sbk and it gets trapped, acted upon and 
replied to as appropriate.

You also have the added feature of being able to have more than System Book 
with one for, say, a CBT navigation schema, and one with some development 
tools.  On the fly you can link or unlink these books so its easy to 
deliver a project with the features of one System Book and automatically 
the other.

My question is quite basic, but one that I suspect will draw a plethora of 
different opinions.  Given the concept above and, to my knowledge Rev does 
not support such a concept, where is the best place to put "System Book" 
functionality ?  Main stack, sub stack?  At what level ?  Can you link 
stacks so that they are at a specific level of the message hierarchy ?

Many thanks in advance for your replies.

best, Bob...
