Stacks whose names start with "rev"

[J. Landman Gay]

For anyone following this, simply opening the stack with messages turned 
off doesn't work for very long. As soon as you perform any significant 
action (click a control, change cards, etc.) the stack is reset to mode 
2. But doing this in the message box does persist:

   set the _ideoverride of stack <whatever> to false
