I misspoke, which usually means it is time for me to give up for the 
night. Sorry. The card script would be in the hierarchy, as you say. I 
was thinking of stacks that have been put into use. In that case, the 
stack script is always in the hierarchy whether the stack is frontmost 
or not.

If the stack is in use and you put a handler into its stack script, any 
other stack can use it, and it can potentially run at the wrong time.
