One thing I haven't understood about the way this works is why it's 
necessary to close the GoRevNet stack. Why can't it be kept open and 
hidden, and only closed when RevNet is closed? I confess to having very 
little experience with using a library arrangement like this, or 
changing the frontscripts and backscripts for my purposes so far. But I 
am trying to learn about this now since my ideas are getting more 
ambitious. Thanks for all the inspiration and ideas you provide us, 
Richard.
