how do you mean?  Manually, or programatically?

I  use (during debugging/design)
if the optionkey is down then breakpoint  --then click abort
or
if the optionkey is down then exit to top  --then click abort

in your case, one technique that could work is

send "closeme" to this stack in 1 second
exit to top  --ends all handlers

You need to tell us what you think 'destroystack' means to you.  It probably
means something different to Rev.  (be specific, if possible)

filter fileList with "*temp*.*"
