Interface Resolution

[J. Landman Gay]

Plugins are just normal stacks that appear in the plugins folder. When you 
open the stack, which opens automatically  and invisibly on startup in this 
case, it will just sit there. It needs an activation handler, which can be 
on openstack or opencard or whatever is appropriate. Add whatever you need 
it to do in one of those handlers.

In the plugin manager you'll see a list of special "rev" messages. This is 
an alternate way to trigger the actions the plugin should perform. Instead 
of using an openCard or preOpenCard handler, you can select the 
revPreOpenCard message from the list. That message will be sent to the 
plugin when it opens and if you have a handler in the stack with that name, 
it can perform the activities it needs to do.
