Removing a stack from memory - is this a bug?

Many of my xcmds were done in Compilit as well as  HyperBasic. 
HyperBasic was chosen because they had really good serial port hooks 
to the toolbox. I also used Pittman's PrintReport, the only xcmds 
that gave one complete control of printing functions.  At one point, 
thanks to Genie, I amassed almost 750 xcmds.

There really is not much need for a Compilit with Rev, although 
someone could write one I suppose, but the truth is, the speed of 
Transcript coupled with today's processors screams.

At any rate, most or all of the xcmds you used to use with HC will 
not work, unless you restrict yourself to system 9, and still I doubt 
they'd work. Rinaldi does have some online, or script equivalents.

"Transcript being so fast, some externals has been rewritten using it.
Those are now checkmarked in a new "RR" column appearing in the XCMD 
Collection list.
You simply have to copy the script to your stack in order to have all 
your existing calls
to the external work identically, including original parameters."

Mr. Rinaldi should be in the X-Talk hall of Fame. He's contributed a lot.
He posts here sometimes...
