It depends where the handler is in the parent stack. If it is in the
mainStack's stack script, then it will be available to all other
stacks. If it is in the mainStack's card script or in an object's
script, then it will not be available directly, but you can do
something like:

send "updateTable" to button "Update" of stack "Whatever"

I only use a frontScript if I need to intercept messages, e.g. if I
have a commandKeyDown handler or something similar that I want to grab
all commandKeys before they get to any other stack. If you have a
library stack and you want to make all the handlers in that stack
script available to every other stack, then you can go with "start
using".

One thing to watch for: I often get that "handler not found" error
when I have tried to use a function as a handler.

Just normal scrolling fields. I never turn on the "Table" setting.
