Do script-only stacks support "chained" behaviors?

[Mike Kerner]

As long as you're at it, it would be cool if you added an option to
organize the SOS's the way Levure would.  I was working on Scriptifier to
do the same thing, but I haven't gotten around to finishing it.  If
Navigator does it, then I can just stop fiddling with my hack.

-- 
On the first day, God created the heavens and the Earth
On the second day, God created the oceans.
On the third day, God put the animals on hold for a few hours,
   and did a little diving.
And God said, "This is good."
