That said, Bob, if you think about it, YOU (simply by nature of having
concepted it) could make a Rev plug-in which would allow you to have
this capability within your own environment. It could consist of a
single button which said "Test stack" which did the temp saving,
switched to the browse tool, then when clicked again, loaded the temp
stack and switched to the select tool.
If you really need it, you could do it.
