I should know this but...

[Lynch, Jonathan]

I think what you are doing, using preopenstack then openstack, is the
way to go.

Preopenstack takes place before some things in the Rev engine get fully
loaded. Thus, some commands might not work right in preopenstack.

But the same standalone opens to different cards based on the contents
of a 
file in the same folder, so moving the card to the first card isn't an 
option... unless I shuffled the deck on each opening  LOL.

I was looking for an easy way.  It seems I needed to do the go to card
in 
the OpenStack handler.  If I had it in the preOpenStack handler, it was 
unreliable.

If I set the visible of the stack to false in the preOpenStack handler
and 
then to true at the end of the openStack hander, the standalone appears 
opened to the desired card.

Seems like it should have been more straightforward than that.

I thought about having a new main stack, but that seems like a lot of
work 
to shuffle the stacks around, etc.
