Using Datagrids with 'stackrunner' like launcher.

[stephen barncard]

I didn't install templates anywhere else. It's the same substack. I'm pretty
sure I included the DG library if there is one.

There is no error message. DGText doesn't load anything and even with
content in there it doesn't scroll. BUt the stack template substack is right
there.

Marty - didn't mean to sound so angry .   sorry.
