Lock Screen and Modal Window?

I'll try to be concise, if I can:

Here is a snippet of code from stack "A" that requests stack "B" to open.

   lock screen
   sheet stack "B"
   unlock screen

(I would have much prefered to say 'sheet cd x of stack "B"', but that
syntax is not allowed for some strange reason.)

In stack "B" I have:

   on openStack
      lock screen
      go cd (the pCardName of this cd of stack "A")
      unlock screen
   end openStack

I figure the dual lock screen calls are overkill, but then again neither of
them seem to do their job. It is upon opening the actual card needed that I
show/hide controls and fill in user data. That's the part that I can't seem
to prevent from showing. Then again, if I don't open the window as a 'sheet'
or as a 'modal' everything works fine.
