commands stop working when stacks call remote stacks

[Sarah Reichelt]

The two problems are:

Your events.rev stack has no answer stack and so no way to display a 
dialog, unless the IDE is running. Possibly, if you make sure that your 
Trigger app includes the answer dialog, it will work.

With the filename problem, you have loaded the events.rev stack from 
the net and it is in memory but not yet saved to disk, so it has no 
filename.

Cheers,
Sarah
