Trouble with sub stacks

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Dave,

Possibly, the problem is that although you hide the substack, it is  
still open and its style is still modal. Because it is modal, it  
probably blocks sent messages. Can't you just close the stack or use  
a different window style? Or call the handler directly instead of  
using the send command?

Additionally, it is a _very_ bad idea to call a stack "mainstack".  
Please, change the name of the stack. This might solve the infinite  
loop problem.

Best,

Mark
