Hi Erik,

Well, apart from its being baked in at compiler time,
the key thing to remember here is that there is no
real 'home' stack as we (or at least quite a few of
us) know it from our HyperCard days.

Another thing to note is that there's only a 'home'
stack in the RunRev IDE (mainly for HyperCard-backward
compatibility) and that there isn't one in your
stand-alone, unless you were to explicitly create a
stack named 'home' in there.

The closest thing to a 'Home' stack for us now, is to
store all those nifty handlers into a separate library
stack, and then insert its script into back at
startup.

Hope this helped,

Jan Schenkel.
