Creating a answer hyperlink

[Chris Sheffield]

Okay, for a minute there I thought I was going crazy.  I have this  
substack I'm using where this works just fine, but I tried exactly  
what you just tried and it didn't work.  The difference:  my substack  
is a library that I "put in use".  And sure enough, when I did a  
"start using" on the little temp stack I was testing with, it  
worked.  Kind of a strange thing.  I guess I never realized that  
before because I had been using the substack like that long before I  
ever put this answer dialog in.  And when it worked just fine, I just  
thought that's how it worked and didn't think about it further.   
Anyway, that appears to be the workaround for now.  Until Eric  
releases his patch, that is. :-)  Not sure if it's much of a  
workaround or not.  Is it worth the extra stack in use just to have  
links in an answer dialog?  For me it works well because that script  
contains other handlers that are called throughout my program.
