Passive Shell Commands

[Phil Davis]

If you want to launch the second stack in a separate process (with its 
own LC session), it will have to be made into a standalone app. You can 
only "launch" an app, which a stackfile is not.

If you just want to open the stack in your current LC session, you can 
just open it, or go to it, or toplevel it, or....
