Hide A Stack, But Not Hide A Stack?

[Pete]

OK, this is definitely odd.  I just double checked and I do not see my
library stack in the LC Application browser.  This is after issuing the
start using command from the preOpenCard handler of the first card in my
application stack.  Using LC 4.6.2 on OS X 10.6.8.  I know the stack is
loaded because my app wouldn't work without it, plus I see it listed in the
mainstacks and the stacksinuse.  What am I doing differently?
