is there a way to trap the "start using" command before it happens.

That is strange. One should be able to re-issue start using without 
any such dialogs popping up. If stack is already in use, it should 
just move up in the list of stacksinuse. I suspect something more is 
going on that opens the stack not just puts it in use.
