When does a Stack Actually Die in the IDE???

[Mark Smith]

This isn't extensively tested, but if you have the long ID of a stack  
in a variable tLongID, then

the windowID of tLongID = 0
should be true if the stack is not open

so you could have a function

function stackIsOpen tLongID
   if the windowID of tLongID < > 0 then
     return true
   else
     return false
   end if
end stackIsOpen

Best,

Mark
