Stacks and Sub Stacks

[Mark Smith]

Do you ever have to call a substack from a main stack? If you do, do you have to preface the handler with a substack reference or does LC know where to look? Can you have 2 handlers by the same name in different sub stacks? How about in the main stack and a substack (that would really get confusing). Any recommendations on what NOT to put in a substack?

Thanks
Mark
