"Deleting" Stacks in Memory - What About Behaviors?

[J. Landman Gay]

How would the engine know whether that behavior is used elsewhere, or will 
be needed in the stack that opens next? The easiest way to get the behavior 
you want, without any scripting, is to put the script in a button in the 
stack. Then when the stack is deleted, the behavior is gone.

If you're using script only stacks, it's not difficult to remove the script 
stack when you no longer need it.
