stack script executes when opening substack

BTW, there's another way to accomplish this same sort of "trap" if you
*really* want to keep your preOpenStack handler in the stack script. Since
the card of a stack is what gets sent the message (before it moves along the
hierarchy), and the owner of a card is a specific stack, you can put this
code in your mainstack's stack script:

on preOpenStack
  if the owner of the target is me then
    -- this is the preOpenStack on the mainstack itself
  else
    -- this is the preOpenStack from a substack
  end if
end preOpenStack
