Accessing stacks without opening

[Marty Knapp]

Thanks. I figured out, too, that my thinking that things were being 
saved in stacks I'd accessed this way was because they were still loaded 
into memory. When I quit and reopened nothing was there. So you need to 
save the stack. Still I can see where this can be handy in some 
situations as all the normal openCard, etc scripts are not called.
