Mac->Win revisited

[Thomas McGrath III]

Pardon me chiming in here.

When using things like players and speech etc. it is our responsibility 
to close them ourselves in our code when and if for any reason our 
program is to quit. So I would put a piece of script in a on closeStack 
that takes care of the player when closing.

This is because players and speech use libraries and/or QT etc. to work 
and like a serial port that is opened it must be closed or problems may 
occur. This is good coding practice.

Maybe you can have in each stack an on closeStack that checks if all 
three (+-) stacks are closed and 'then' closes the player only if all 
are closed.

HTH

Thanks

Tom
