Substacks

[J. Landman Gay]

In an app, the mainstack is the home stack. If it's closed and no other 
stack is open then the app will quit. But if you open a substack, the app 
can't quit because the substack is part of the stackfile but the mainstack 
is still marked as closed. So the trick is not to close the mainstack, just 
hide it instead when you open the substack. When you close the substack, 
show the mainstack.

At least, that's what I think is happening.
