preOpenStack

[William Prothero]

Richard, 
sorry for not being more clear.

I understand that if a stack is opened, then the preOpenStack handler is triggered (it is in the first card), but if I go to another card on the same stack with a different preOpenStack handler on it, I would assume the preOpenStack handler wouldn’t get triggered because a new stack hasn’t been opened. Easy to test, but I thought I’d ask.
