preOpenStack - Main stack script affects SubStack when it opens?

[Scott Rossi]

If you move the preOpenStack handler to the script of the first card of the mainstack, the substack won't trigger the handler.  This is a common method of handling "housekeeping" and other routines that you want run at startup, but don't want triggered by substacks.
