Popping up stacks

[Stephen Barncard]

Richard, If it's a dialog that can stay within the window, have you 
considered using groups instead of a new stack? I've found that 
'dialogs' created out of a group is quite effective, very fast, and 
is easy to create a very attractive interface. I mean really fast. 
hiding and showing.
