Accessing Functions in the Script of the Main Stack

[Pete]

Thank you Chipp, good point and I believe the limits are still as you
mentioned.  Seems there are twists at every change of direction!  This is
another limit that does not exist in the IDE but is enforced for standalones
so it's good to make sure the information is out there so it doesn't get
overlooked and major rethinking is needed late in the game.
