This has to be easy! Tell a program not to open a file

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Art,

I always include a symbol, tag or item in files that are created by  
my standalones. Before I start the read routine, I check whether this  
symbol, tag or item is correct. If it is, I continue reading the  
file, if it isn't I show a message that the file cannot be displayed.

If you want to prevent your standalone from loading stacks, you might  
need to handle the reload message and check the variable $1 on  
Windows or catche the appleEvent message on Mac.

Best regards,

Mark Schonewille
