start using and standalones??

[David Burgun]

Hi,

Yes, I think you are right from my experimenting.

I would like to be able to to only stop using a stack when the last  
stack that did a start using calls stop using!

Do you think that this would work?

global gLibStackUsageCount

function UtilStartUsing()
add 1 to gLibStackUsageCount
start using "LibStack"
end UtilStartUsing


function UtilStopUsing
subtract 1 from gLibStartUsageCount

if gLibStackUsageCount <= 0 then
   stop using "LibStack"
end if
end UtilStopUsing

Thanks a lot
All the Best
Dave
