Except that I'm doing this with a stack which will need to run as a 
standalone and don't want to save the stack out to a separate file when 
printing (and parts of the layout may change rather significantly 
between printouts).  I see this as quite a limitation.  Any way for 
the formatting to be adjusted w/o saving and reloading the stack?

I do something similar to what I'm attempting with other types of 
printouts and don't seem to have a problem.  Of course, most of those 
are not paragraph-level formatted...

No, and in fact, I even stuck a stray "unlock screen" between the two 
"open stack" commands to check for exactly that.  No effect.

everlasting life.
