Am I overseeing something here?

[Eric Chatonet]

Dear Klaus,

I have no answer (your code sounds good) but I always use the  
following code (in stack's scripts only of course):

on closestack
   if the long name of me = the long name of this stack then
     <statements> -- will be applied to 'this' stack only
   end if
end closestack

or:

on closestack
   switch the short name of this stack
   case "Klaus"
     <Have a good beer>
   break
  case "Eric"
     <Have a glass of wine>
   break
   default
     <Have a cup of tea>
   end switch
end closestack

;-)

Best Regards from Paris,
Eric Chatonet
