Variable transfers Between Stacks and Sub-Stacks.

[Dave]

Hi,

But how do you notify a "BOSS" that something has changed? As an  
example:

I have a preference stack that hold the default way to display  
measurements (Inches, MM, CM or Pixels). Other stacks that display  
Measurement data use the setting to show how to display it. If I have  
a stack open that is displaying in MM in a number of fields and the  
user then changes the measurement to Inches I want all fields to  
change instantly to Inches. I do this using my ISM module by  
listening for a change of the Measurement Units. When the user  
changes the value, all objects that are "Listening" for a Measurement  
Changed Message get called and they update themselves accordingly.

All the Best
Dave
