Richard,

You are a RR treasure. The article was a gem.

I am probably the only one who is still confused on this matter of Libraries.

I have some stacks which I like to have handy for reference use. I 
currently store them in the plugin folder. Sometimes they are used to 
provide back scripts and sometimes I call them up for use as the main 
stack. (For this reason, I convert them to Toplevel stacks. In one 
case I include:

     set the style of this stack to "toplevel"

in a preopenstack script. There is no option to open plugins at the toplevel.)

Now I presume that plugins used in this way are "Library Stracks?" 
(That's a question.)

Might I also interpret the sequence under the "Development" menu in 
RR as follows:

     Object Library
     Image Library
     Stack Library (aka Plugins?)
