Hi Mark,

Since I got it to work perfectly, I thought some others might appreciate a snippet! Probably a neater and shorter way of doing this, but what the heck! I suppose I could have just gone for the name of the application, but this is generic enough to handle any stack with any standalone name.

Joe Wilkins

case "Quit" 
         get the long name of this stack
         delete the last char of it
         put the number of chars in it into numChars
         put Char (numChars-2) to numChars of it into myName
         if myName is "rev" then
            closeStackRequest
         else
            shutDownRequest
         end if 
         break
