Keith,

The framework never tries to visually open (using 'go stack') any stacks
that you add to it. It only loads the stack files into memory by executing
the following code:

if there is a stack PATH_TO_STACK_FILE...

If a stack file is marked as being a library then the framework will also
issue the "start using" command for the stack and substacks in the stack
file.

There must be some code somewhere else that is opening the window (either in
the ListMagic code or your code).
