Accessing Functions in the Script of the Main Stack

[Bob Sneidar]

I may misunderstand then. I thought that a library stack was enabled with the start using command, and that this is why the scripts run, because the stack script of a stack in use is inserted into the backscript. Am I wrong? If so, then how are the commands and functions in a library stack inserted into the message path?

(The name doesn't matter but it's easier to know what you are looking at in the OS that way). Then in your openstack handler start using stack lib_whateveryouwant. This will put the stack script of your library stack in the backscript.
