Idle handlers and Text files

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Len,

You'd put a preOpenStack handler into the card script of the  
mainstack if you want that script to run only when the mainstack  
opens and not when substacks open. Otherwise, the preOpenStack  
handler would be send up the message hierarchy each time a substack  
is opened.

Best regards,

Mark Schonewille
