doMenu - Compact stack (Was: Re: use-revolution Digest, Vol 46, Issue 39)

[Mark Schonewille]

Mark and Dale,

You can compact stacks in Revolution. The docs say about the compact  
command: "This command is especially useful when a handler performs  
multiple rearrangements of cards without saving the stack." It is  
also mentioned that Revolution's Save menu automatically compacts the  
stack, but the save command doesn't.

Dale, in most cases, you can replace "doMenu" with "menuPick". I  
would move the deMenu/menuPick handlers to either the menu buttons or  
the menu groups.

Best regards,

Mark Schonewille
